Or perhaps [[exploding whale]]. There are plenty of

we run the risk of people actually believing that the article is a

Yeah, the "did you know" section taken entirely from
[[Wikipedia:Unusual_articles]] is a good idea along these lines
(exploding whale was already a featured article in November 7, 2004 so
we'd want to pick a new one anyway). People believing they're fake could
almost be a sort of meta-hoax, even. Wonder if we could add a poll for
new readers at the end of each - "do you believe this article?" - to
gage our street cred. :)
