Default Internet Service through your.... toilet

Yes, thats right folks! Google has done it! They are providing you with the greatest form of communication for free through your toilet. Now thats a big data pipe! They offer it in 3 speeds: Trickle, No. 2, and Royal Flush. It currently only works with Windows Vista and has high hardware requirements. But its free!

/me gets handed a link

Hmm, get flushing you all, the internet is not getting any fuller.

*Note This was a meant as a joke based off Googles annual April Fools hoax*

Hey, I just tried to send a really big file through this new internet, but it got bounced back. Now there's data everywhere!

Every time I sit down while the firewall is up I get burned. The toilet backs up everything the internet goes down.

So apparently, it's not data overflow you're smelling but Nutz's burnt I/O port.
