Wikipedia:Silly Things: Difference between revisions

This is one of the oldest pages in Wikipedia. Here is the original explanation:

We need a page where bad jokes and other deleted nonsense can rest in peace. So, here it is! [I'm half tempted to suggest keeping the jokes inline with the pages, as they must sorta give the encyclopedia some lively color. But I do know it'd just get carried away and turn into an encyclopedia of silliness, so look forward to frequent updates of this page.  ;-) ] -- BryceHarrington
