Just for fun, why don't we have a game on Friday to create an alternative main page, linked from the main page? "Click here to see our April Fool's Page."
I think that is a great idea. :)
I think it's profoundly lame.
An April Fool's joke that can't fool anybody is not an April Fool's joke.
Thus the word "fool".
I think there is a definite failure to engage with the subject matter here. Whatever happened to the sweet old idea of just, for one day in the whole year, doing something unexpected, out of character and insincere? Not in a mean, vituperative way, but simply to spread the joy of life. Can't we just put that lovely toilet roll holder on the front page. *once*? Has Wikipedia become so anal?>
