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?

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
