Google's April Fool's Joke
Almost every April 1st since 2000, Google places a link on their homepage to a seemingly official new product or service, but in fact it's an April Fool's Joke.
This year, they introduced Google TiSP (BETA)" - a broadbrand internet service, which will work through your home plumbing system. The page includes a well done press release, installation manual, ordering information, and demonstrations. It's very funny. If you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely follow the link above.
Wikipedia has a page that tracks the different Google hoaxes over the years, here it is: Google Hoaxes on Wikipedia.
Also, if you are interested, here is an interesting article in Business Week that talks about the Google prank.
