April Fool's?

Could you talk about the main page on april fool's? The Placebo Effect 13:01, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

You know, i kinda feel my little George Washington (inventor) article got short shrift in the podcast as lacking due humor. Did you read comments like Talk:April_1,_2007#It.27s_a_funny_gag.2C_but_don.27t_extend_it_to_here or Talk:Bat_bomb#April_Fools_Day_FA.3F or at least half of Talk:George Washington (inventor) (oh, and at some point, people even removed some others' comments to avoid their supposed embarrassment). A very large number of people were indeed quite successfully fooled into believing this true article was a hoax, and found this slightly boring man's life quite hilarious.--Pharos 08:32, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
