It's become a tradition for Google to launch April Fools' pranks, witness last year's toilet-based wireless internet and Gmail paper, and this year is no different.
First there is their ambitious Virgle program, where Google and Virgin team up to colonize Mars starting in 2014. Includes video from Richard Branson and a 15-question application to be a Virgle Pioneer.
Gmail also launched it's new "Custom Time" app that allows you to never be late with an email or answer again. But how does it work, you might ask? "Gmail utilizes an e-flux capacitor to resolve issues of causality (see Grandfather Paradox). "
But what about the best April Fools' jokes of all time. The Museum of Hoaxes has 100 of them, with the classic Sid Finch story number #2. They also have compiled the 10 Worst of all time (number #4 especially).
