The '''Creative Mischief SIG''' was active in [[American Mensa]] in the 1990s, and was founded and run by [[Mark Hutchenreuther]]. Its activities included posting humorous signs at [[Annual Gathering|AGs]] and [[Regional Gathering|RGs]], such as announcements of the postponement of the [[Mensa retest]] or advertisements for [[wikipedia:Schrodinger's Cat]] Sitting Service. Some stunts were also performed at AGs, such as a parade in duck costumes accompanying the actual ducks at the Peabody Hotel during the [[1993 Annual Gathering of American Mensa|1993 AG]]. Plans to hold a "Spirits of St. Louis" parade dressed as ghosts at the [[1995 Annual Gathering of American Mensa|1995 AG]] hit a snag when it turned out that a [[wikipedia:Ku Klux Klan]] demonstration was going to be protesting in the area that weekend, so that the SIG could be mistaken for supporters; this caused a redesigning of the costumes to avoid confusion.
