  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.  
Only one April Fools article is needed per year. The others can and should be
eventually on the Main Page - regardless of their FTA date. This time we used
them *all* as TFAs before April 1. As we go forward some articles will seem to
be candidates for next year's April 1 TFA. Most of those will be supplanted by
newer FAs that are even better April 1 candidates. Once that happens the lesser
candidates could be a TFA on any other day. But a �best of� short list should
be maintained.
