Title: Pongmechanics
Post by: Agent4054 on April 04, 2006, 03:43:55 PM

Not a joke or anything, just useless...

The crazy germans are at it again. An entirely mechanical version of pong. Quite cool how they did it. Even the sound effects are mechanical.

Bit of a lengthy video but it was interesting.


errr while I'm on the topic of useless info, I'm not sure if this is a joke or not but... Google Romance (http://www.google.com/romance/)

Leave it to the germans, but a google romance. What is next a section on shopping for cars. I mean the video and the gmail were good. But romance, when will it end.

The Google Romance was an April Fool's joke. Click on the link under section 6 and you will see the explanation and a link to their past years' pranks.

Actually, there's several ways to find that it's a joke. Do a search, click on one of the profile upload links, etc.
