Default Google April Fools Prank

I thought this was brilliant, and I didn't even notice the date. I was so nearly sucked in.

Google claimed to have started a service called Gmail Paper, where you could have your emails printed out and mailed to you through the postal service. Details can be found here;

Welcome to Gmail

Why would we need anything like that? We can always print them out. Why mail them?

I'm curious ...who and why would the service even be useful? Our emails are subject enough to being read by those they aren't addressed to so why include an open message through a postal dept server?

That's very funny. The people who signed up for the service ....are they the same people who wear foil on their heads to protect aliens from stealing their words and thoughts? LOL.
