What the!?!

So I was just on google, and I saw a link at the bottom that said
"New! Get FREE breakthrough broadband with Google TiSP (BETA)."
and being the cheap, ahem, person that I am I clicked on it, and, to be honest, I'm very confused. I got this page, read it, and clicked on "How TiSP Works" and became even more confused when I got this page.
What the? Is this a joke or is Google really offering a broadband service you flush down your toilet???

This is yet another one of Google's April fools jokes.

Check out this page, and be sure to look at the links at the bottom.

".........offered entirely free to any consumer with a WiFi-capable PC and a toilet connected to a local municipal sewage system......."

".....including 24-hour, on-site technical support in the event of backup problems, brownouts and data wipes....."

Go here and click on the Learn more about Gmail paper link. This is another hoax.
