Another fun thing you can do with Squid is direct wireless poachers to the Upside-Down-Ternet: http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pete/upside-down-ternet.html

This has some simple scripts for re-directing wireless freeloaders to your Squid proxy, where you then subject them to upside down, backwards, or blurry Web pages. You can have some fun of your own by using other mogrify options to alter web images as you like. **cackle**
