You bet you can do it! When I'd look at the nice plump dissertations that other people wrote I'd think "Now how am I going to do that?" I psyched myself up for it by telling myself it was a huge, in-depth lab report and then wrote it in little bits and pieces.
I didn't put anything hidden in it, but so far no one has complained about the missing page! I thought it would be fun to put a five dollar bill somewhere in the copy in the library and then go back years later and see if it's still there.
Happy writing!
