Google goes down the drain

The other day, I noticed something new on Google, a new in-home wireless broadband service for FREE.

Now, your money does not have to go down the drain.

Well, rethink that for a minute.

Google offers the TiSP service with a free installation kit including a fiber-optic cable and gloves.

Apparently, there are access points hidden down in sewage lines. You basically take a wire with a sinker and send it down the toilet. The sinker will then be taken care of by the "Plumbing Hardware Dispatchers, who will remove the sinker and plug the line into our global data networking system."

How can Google offer this service for free?








"We believe that all users deserve free, fast and sanitary online access. To offset the cost of providing the TiSP service, we use information gathered by discreet DNA sequencing of your personal bodily output to display online ads that are contextually relevant to your culinary preferences, current health status and likelihood of developing particular medical conditions going forward."

Maybe this is a part of Google's April Fool's Day joke, which provides a service to print all of your e-mails and have them shipped to your home. Pretty clever, Google.
