It's quite amusing.

I'm not seeing it.

I'm not sure I ever looked at this page before so maybe I'm missing the hilarity.

If you click the "more" link it takes you to the real page, with a note at the top about April Fool's Day.

Spoiler

The information on the main page is true, but written in such a way as to seem like a prank. The real page tells all about Ima Hogg, a real person.

My kids have discovered Fun With Google.

Go to Google, and type in

google pig latin

or

google gothic

google easter egg

google bear share

and then hit "I'm Feeling Lucky"

There are more, but I forget already. The Pig Latin and Gothic are the best. Easter egg is fun to play for a kid. The bear one is just kinda lame.

The "Did You Know" section changes every time you load it, I think...

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong Wikipedia main page.

http://www.wikipedia.org/

I don't see anything wrong with this page and no "more" link.

Ah, I found it.

The English Wikipedia main page.

You have to be careful when using Google. A friend at church related Sunday that his daughter, age 6 has "discovered" Google. She's big into "My Little Pony" figures, and has been Googling for images. My friend said, "It's surprising what comes up when you search 'my little pony' - he's now looking at CyberSitter or NetNanny for his computer.

Yup. Use the Net Nanny trial to see how you like it first.

My kids are old enough that I can just tell them No Google Images, or Video, and please use a dictionary to look up a word if you don't know what it means instead of Googling it, or I will take away your internet connection.

Because they know I Mean It.

I did a search for "My Little Pony" and only My Little Pony related stuff came up. I think that if you set your google searches for Safe Search, the nasty stuff doesn't show up.

I'm not sure how my friend's daughter entered the search, with or without quotes around the words, or something else. He may also have been exaggerating for humorous effect. I haven't tried it personally.

Our church has three "public" computers that members can use (rather than tying up the office machines). They all have Net Nanny installed on them and it seems to work fairly well.
