Best One So Far

Here's an April Fool's Prank for you, brought by the Mountain View, California-based company, Google.

It's fast. It's free. It's good for you. It's the TiSP! The Toilet Internet Service Provider.

Get yours now. If you want more info, just go to the TiSP home, or go directly to the FAQ.

Tagged as the "Dark Porcelain" project, Google said its "Toilet Internet Service Provider" (TiSP) works with Microsoft Corp.'s new Windows Vista operating system. But sorry - septic tanks are incompatible with the system's requirements.

There are three plans available: Trickle, The #2, and the Royal Flush. Royal Flush is the fastest plan with a download rate of 32 Mbps (40X basic DSL). Wow.

There's also a mock press release with quotes from Google Co-founder and President Larry Page such as, "What's interesting, though, is how many different modalities there are for actually getting that information to you - not to mention from you," and "There's actually a thriving little underground community that's been studying this exact solution for a long time, and today our Toilet ISP team is pleased to be leading the way through the sewers, up out of your toilet and - splat - right onto your PC."

Marissa Mayer, Google's Vice President of Search Products and User Experience, believes that "TiSP will be a breakthrough product, particularly for those users who, like Larry himself, do much of their best thinking in the bathroom."

Ready to do some GFlushing™?
