Virgle: April Fool's Day Joke From Google

[sourav123]

Google has come up with a better and shiny April Fool's Day prank this year with the announcement of Virgle. The project claims to have a goal of creating a human establishment in Mars over next 100 years. It also has created a webpage dedicated to the project.

infact I went looking for this years prank. I would say I liked the last years better because even though google has audacious plans they only look real pertaining to the information technology world.
