Oh Noes! Google is making teh first lunzar moonz base! We must turret farm!

EDIT- further exploration of the site... scares me

I think... in all honesty... they MIGHT be serious. There is NO hint of it being a joke, it is VERY well thought out for a first-production basis... and actually makes an odd kind of sense. There is the occasional "odd ball" joke (like the Giant Lava Lamps filled with BioMass for energy production... but even THAT could work) but beyond that... if they actually do this... WEWT!

    I had an idea you knew it was fake, but I thought <i>"No way would he post an old April Fools Day joke from a company about which every computer user knows and uses daily! Everyone would have seen this already, when it first came out!"</i>. I guess I was wrong!

    Its HiDeHiDeHo.

    Although I do wonder if Google will ever start its own personal space program.

    Come to think of it, why aren't there eccentric billionares with their own space program? Hell, if I were Bill Gates, thats what I would be doing...

    Wow. It's only been a few months since the web accelerator, and people are back to worshipping. Google could start a nuclear war and the people of the world would be chanting their name as they were immolated in the furnaces of a thousand suns.

    People being stupid while using Google software and Google actually doing something bad are two completely different things.
