Title: Google's April Fools Joke
Post by: hmed2390 on April 01, 2011, 11:41:19 AM

My guess is that this year's joke is the Gmail Motion BETA.  ::)

Also, possibly the 1911 Viral Videos Spotlight topic.

edit: confirmed:

haha, I didn't even click the gmail one since I figured it was definitely a joke.

The razor one is hilarious. :D

This appeared on my local paper's website. Presumably an April Fool since it appeared today, it still freaked the kids out when they saw it.  ;D
