Every year on April 1st, the folks at Google break out of their cubicles and offer up some zany prank to unleash on the wired universe.
The First Google prank came around on April 1, 2000 when the newly arrived Internet Goliath offered up the MentalPlex, a process that would read our minds and seek out information for us.
Over subsequent years the smart alecks at Google suggested that jobs were waiting at a soon to open lunar outpost for the Google empire called the "Copernicus Centre", the only problem with that prank is that it came out at the same time as the announcement that G Mail had arrived, it seems at the time more people figured the lunar jobs story was more believable than the new mail service.
Another famous Google prank was the Google Gulp, which no doubt had 7-11 running to research to find a way to beat back the invasion of silicon soda.
Last year, Google played matchmaker to the computer generation with Google Romance, where the quest for love was just a simple search problem!
This years epic takes the computer geeks of the Silicon Valley back to the days of the ultimate in Fart jokes, with the TISP, the convergence of wireless technology and bodily fluids!
