"""Did you know"" section == 

 There is a small problem with the 8th thing listed under ""did you know""    
 *It's an annual tradition, albeit more gruesome this time...   
 I know what April Fools day is.    
 ::One of the items says ""a fish in a fishbowl is in a fish""I think it's supposed to say ""a fish in a fishbowl is a fish.""    
 ::*Off the page now, but there was no word choice mistake. Capitalisation, on the other hand...

 Interesting. Much complaint about the few penis and vagina jokes. No complaint about the lethal injection execution (article turns out to be about not-a-human, so it does not count?), only a single complaint about the brief hint of domestic violence (""kill their spouses"", gone now)  and no complaint at all in these directions by those complaining hard and long against the sex-related jokes. One wonders about priorities. - Tenebris  

 :Nothing here. It's not about priorities. It's about this being an encyclopedia and this kind of in-house ho-ho simply not being appropiate. I complained about cocks and dicks because that's what I immediately noticed. Do you really imagine that I have time to read through all this juvenile nonsense? If I had noticed frivolous stuff about lethal injections and so on I would have complained about that as well. I happen to be a huge fan of South Park and I am amused by its crude toilet humour. I have also opposed the death penalty and actively championed human rights issues all my long life. There is nothing wrong with my priorities and I don't need lectures and insinuations from fellow editors concerning my perfectly valid objections to this pathetic legalised Anglocentric vandalism of Wikipedia that takes place every April 1st, and which last year hit new standards of indecency and cringing inappropiateness that would never sully South Park.    

 ::Oh dear. I must admit I never thought to see a South Park mention in this context after the Anal Probe Controversy. 
 ::It takes longer to write a post of that length than it does to read a front page linked article  but apparently time to write does not correspond to time to read. 
 ::And finally, I mentioned no names. But if you insist the hat fits ...? - Tenebris   — Preceding unsigned comment added by     
 :::You don't know psychology. Conservatism is the result of society-imposed and state-sponsored sexual repression.    
 :Read The Illuminatus Trilogy.  The Hodge-Podge Principle applies.  What do anti-porn crusaders on Wikipedia have in common with those who gratuitously focus on bawdy jokes?  Yup - obsession with sex.  Around and round, from one ""side"" to the other, each not realizing that it is marching in step with the other.  When people stop trying to censor Wikipedia, they'll stop seeing so much that they want to censor; but if they continue being more and more forward about it, the site will dive deeper and deeper into juvenalia a.k.a. adult material.    

 Persons who choose to make offensive remarks (now deleted) should have the courage of their convictions and be 'persons and not IP numbers.' (original The Prisoner reference).  

 WP should attempt to intrigue and puzzle people into reading further (Biblical quote - people running around and knowledge being increased?)  

 And, finally a reference to Samuel Johnson - when someone said that they were glad he had not included any 'inappropriate words' in his dictionary responded to the effect that 'Well, #you# chose to look them up.'
