Google should NEVER be trusted on april fools, theyre always doing stuff like that. other stuff theyve said on april fools included "google gulp" a soft drink that made google use easier, and starting a google office on the moon

on-site technical support in the event of backup problems, brownouts and data wipes.

That's just wrong on so many different levels...

It sounds good and all, but self install? NA, i'lll stick with the professional installation option "which dispatches an army of factory-trained, sub-contracted nanobots from the TiSP Access Node"

Nanobots FTW!

yo know that whole toilet thing isnt a half bad idea, then you could choose what level of connection cable you want instead of being stuck with whats built into the ground, like how the new houses are having real good fiberoptic put in under while we got the dial up lines

dammit i was gonna post this .. ahwell i first heard about this on my wii news channel. i like the speed choices trickle, No. 2,and royal flush.

Actual speeds will vary, depending on network traffic and sewer line conditions. Users with low-flow toilets may simultaneously experience a saving-the-environment glow and slower-data-speed blues.

Test Your Power and Rejuvenate Your Psyche

When Russian design Studio Art Lebedev contacted ThinkGeek to exclusively carry an amazing new product we were pretty stoked. After all Art Lebedev is the developer of the groundbreaking Optimus Maximus keyboard with OLED screens on every key. We expected something high-tech and fantastic... but we were completely unprepared for the simple genius of the Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter. It was clear we had a winner on our hands.

The Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter allows anyone to quickly and easily test the working condition of any wall socket. Simply insert the Vilcus into the socket in question... insert two fingers and the use becomes apparent instantly. But this is only scratching the surface of the device's utility. Once we learned that the Vilcus was based on an antique persuasion device used by Soviet-era KGB we put the device to the test with a ThinkGeek contracted market research group and discovered something surprising. After the pain subsided, those that survived reported a feeling of euphoria and well being. Upon further investigation on Wikipedia we realized that the rejuvenating effects of high-voltage electricity are well documented. It was even successfully used to treat insanity during the early 1800's. Obviously Art Lebedev had done it again. We were thoroughly impressed.

So bring the Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter with you anywhere you need a quick pick-me-up. The included adapter allows for easy use on US style wall sockets or use the standard plug when traveling to most European countries. Click here to read more about the exciting development and methodology of the Vilcus Plug Dactyloadapter on the Art Lebedev website.

WARNING!
While we at ThinkGeek are completely convinced of the health benefits of finger contact with high-voltage electricity... not all of our living test subjects for the Vilcus felt the same way. Playing with electrical sockets is damn dangerous and our attorneys don't recommend it. In any case ThinkGeek, Inc. and all of it's myriad subsidiaries are in no way responsible for your stupidity if you stick your fingers in a high-voltage wall socket and harm yourself in any way.

Product Features

* Easily test any AC Power Outlet
* Fits any finger size
* Works with European style and USA type outlets
* Become more alert through free electroshock therapy
* Exclusive Russian Design
