Google has a great sense of humour and they like to amuse the world with their April Fool’s pranks. Thisyear was no different and they created over twenty online tricks to amuse and confuse online visitors. Here are a few examples of their pranks:

Storing anything on Google Docs
On the official Google blog they announced that it was now possible to store real objects on Google docs:

‘Store your keys, remotes, rail passes, and other objects you commonly lose with Google Docs, and you’ll never have to worry about finding them again. Having trouble moving your piano from New York to California? Upload it from your home in New York, then download it once you’re in California. Change your mind and want to share it with your friend in England instead? No problem. With one click you can have your piano delivered to anyone you choose, anywhere in the world.’

Animal Translation

Google placed an advert that linked through to an animal translation app designed for Android phones. The application produces very funny translations based on the animal selected.

Lifesize Picassa

Google offered an option which allowed users to print out a life size model of themselves.object>
