Google's 2007 April fool's joke ?
Just bumped into the TiSP(BETA) program from Google. TiSP apparently stands for Toilet Internet Service Provider. The idea is to run, or rather flush, fiber optic cable (with a sinker) through your toilet and when it reaches the nearest TiSP access node, Plumbing Hardware Dispatchers (PHDs) will remove the sinker and plug the line into Google’s global data networking system.
Google TiSP
Enjoy it!
