April Fools' Day!

It's the 1st of April today! And it's that time of the year again when everyone tries to pull a prank or two. And the people in Google are absolutely not newcomers when it comes to pulling pranks.

Did you know that Google plays pranks on people every year? You can actually get a good list of all the pranks they played every April Fools' Day here.

This time around, Google announced on their website that they were collaborating with the Virgin Group to form Virgle Inc., "a jointly owned and operated venture dedicated to the establishment of a human settlement on Mars."

You can find on the main Google search page this line - "Space is the key to a rosier future. Become a Virgle Pioneer. " And when you click on that link, you'll enter a meticulously planned and well-executed prank by Google! One of the highlights of this April Fools' prank is a YouTube video featuring the founders of Google - Larry Page and Sergey Brin...

They even got Richard Branson, the president and founder of the Virgin Group to help in the prank. Watch his YouTube video below.

They finally reveal that this whole Virgle thing is a hoax at the end of the list of FAQs for Virgle. The page is disguised as a 404 - Page Not Found page. You can see their confession here.

Nice one, Google! And Happy April Fools' Day everyone!
