Latest revision as of 15:44, 6 June 2007
Welcome!
As described, a deck full of wacky pranks, inspired by the "April Fools!" link on the front page on April Fools day... 10 days ago. Anyway. I've credited two cards to other people, and there's possibly more that I've unknowingly assimilated. Feel free to point them out if you want; credit where credit is due and all that.
Questions? Comments? Suggestions? All are welcome. Jtwe 22:18, 11 April 2007 (BST)

Action: Draw a card
