Google April Fool's gags Apr01 '07

Reading Googling Google this morning, I once again fell victim to clever pranks.

I did fall for Gmail Paper for a few minutes, I have to admit.

Is it free? ... Yes. The cost of postage is offset with the help of relevant, targeted, unobtrusive advertisements, which will appear on the back of your Gmail Paper prints in red, bold, 36 pt Helvetica. No pop-ups, no flashy animations—these are physically impossible in the paper medium.

And when I saw Google TiSP, the cat was clearly out of the bag.

Attach the sinker to the loose end of the cable, take one safe step backward and drop this weighted end into your toilet.

Each year Google's April Fool's gags get more clever.
