Google Goes With The Flow

The folks at Google share an awesome sense of humor. Today -- -- I came across a few examples of Google pranksters at work (play). Here they are...

  • : Through a link from the Google home page today, I discovered that Google TiSP is a fully functional, end-to-end system that provides in-home wireless access by connecting your commode-based TiSP wireless router to one of thousands of TiSP Access Nodes via fiber-optic cable strung through your local municipal sewage lines.
