Google offers flushable internet and email you can literally throw away


Google has a reputation for loving April Fools Day. Google loves April Fools Day so much in fact they've chosen today to launch two new free products.

The first TiSP, or Toliet Internet Service Provider enables anyone with indoor plumbing to get broadband by simply dropping a fiber-optic cable down their toilet and flushing. Once in your sewer line one of Googles trained Plumbing Hardware Dispatchers (PHDs) will plug your cable into Googles global data networking system and you'll be surfing the web within the hour. TiSP is currently in beta because "when things go wrong, they go very, very wrong"

Gmail is also seeing an upgrade this April Fools Day (Gmail's birthday) with the introduction of Gmail Paper. Gmail paper promises to deliver paper copies of all your favorite emails to your door printed on high-resolution glossy paper. Once you have the emails in hand you are free to file them or simply throw them away. Every email is printed on paper that is "96% post-consumer organic soybean sputum, and thus, actually helps the environment."

Free toliet based internet and paper emails delivered right to your door? With stuff this great you would almost think Google was pulling an April Fools joke. They wouldn't do that though, right?
