What would REALLY mess with people's heads would be announcing some dramatic change in policy like the abolishment of Articles For Deletion on April 1, and then sticking with it.
Done by google.
We could re-format the Main Page to list all information in userbox format, and declare that due to popular demand all articles should henseforth be made up of a series of userboxes instead of all that tiresome text... Although that whole issue might be too touchy to toy with even on April 1.
On more serious note I'd just like to ask people to *please* limit themselves to free licensed images when doing the compulsary photoshopped Jimbo images and what not (or at least have them all deleted the next day). There are enough copyvio images to clean out on a regular wikiday as it is without ending up with long fights over "parody" fair use claims for months or even years afterwards, like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wiki-gonzales.jpg from last year. Sure it's fun, but it gives people the wrong idea about fair use on Wikipedia if we start keeping a lot of these patody pictures around in project space.
