I think that is a great idea. :)

I think it's a really lame idea. :-( I just joined the mailing list, I

I'm doing this right. May I ask a question? Do I get any say in whether
or
not [[User:Bishonen/European toilet paper holder]] is moved out of my userspace into the article namespace for April 1?
Reading this thread reminds me of the fact that the american dictionary doesn't have an entry for the word irony. Very sad.

Not getting it, sorry. I know my question came late in the game, but that's because Jimbo's suggestion also came late. I was all for having "European toilet paper holder" featured directly on the Main page on April 1, but I'm all against the page being used in such a poor jape as "Click here to see our April Fool's Page." Please note that this is not a protest against that use, though. It's a *question*, as to whether anybody will care if I do protest. I will only actually do it if the other contributors want me to.
(Sorry if this arrives twice, I'm still getting the hang of posting to the list.)
