Continuing on the sanitation theme (aka Google has a sense of humor)


I don't know if anyone noticed today, but Google has announced a new way to get free wireless broadband, called Google TiSP (beta). It is innovative, to say the least. As you can see here, once you sign up, you get a package containing all the essentials, including a spindle of fiber optic cable that you flush through your toilet to plug into the "global data networking system".


My favorite part:
In-Commode Package Delivery
With professional installation service, you can also have your Google Checkout purchases delivered directly through the sewage network into your bathroom. Each package comes pre-sealed in a watertight and nanobot-resistant bag made of biodegradable corn-based plastic. For a limited time, TiSP subscribers who sign up for a Checkout account will receive free bathroom delivery on their first ten Checkout purchases.

Also:
How can Google offer this service for free?
We believe that all users deserve free, fast and sanitary online access. To offset the cost of providing the TiSP service, we use information gathered by discreet DNA sequencing of your personal bodily output to display online ads that are contextually relevant to your culinary preferences, current health status and likelihood of developing particular medical conditions going forward. Google also offers premium levels of service for a monthly fee (see below).
Note: We take your privacy very seriously. So we treat all TiSP users' waste-related personal information with tremendous discretion, in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Ah, the joys of a central sewer system.

There's a reason why Google was rated by Fortune as the best company to work for in 2006. I am starting to see why.
