(Hmm, my editing looks very odd. Must remember to look at the screen
occasionally)
There is more in life that is interesting than what could be considered
to be a prank.
I'm sorry, but you don't seem to be addressing my question. The kind of
stuff we're talking about here isn't a prank, it's articles like
[[Exploding whale]] and [[Holy prepuce]], specifically--the kind of
article that tends to know the reader out of his passive rut. Surely it's
good to have this kind of article all the time, not save them up to take
the place of real April fools pranks.
