I remember they blocked the name "Youtube" at school - but of course, entering the IP address worked :P

Meh, SSH tunnels get through basically all internet filters (plus it's encrypted so snoopy admins can't see what you're doing on it either).  It's all too easy once you know how to set one up >_>

In Queensland, wee have some statewide internet filter/proxy set up by the Dept of Education (it's actually interesting, since all (public) schools across Qld have the same IP, so if you go on Wikipedia, you can see what pages people have been editing, and eXx1l3d for).  Interestingly, the filter's blacklist is quite amazing - I once tried ~100 barely known proxies, and all of them were blocked.  But it's a bit too good - a number of sites I went to for my Philosophy assignments were blocked too (including those suggested by the teacher).
