S'pose had better flag up Googles April fool...many thought the gmail was it but iit appears not....see wired comment beneath...Google Job Opportunities: Google Copernicus Center is hiring: "Life in the Googlunaplex
The Googlunaplex is a working environment that will be unique both because of its location and its design. Based on a working model constructed by Google co-founder Larry Page from Lego� Mindstorms�, the facility features compact living quarters and a state of the art server farm that are co-mingled to maintain a delicate bio-technical balance. In traditional Google style, space will be used with extreme efficiency, with Googlunars sharing quarters with machines that generate search results as well as enough heat to warm the entire Googlunaplex and several hot tubs."

Wired News: A Fine Year for April Foolery: "Among search engines, Google led the pack in April Fool's Day promotions. Visitors who clicked on a link offering jobs that are 'out of this world' on the search engine's home page were told that 'Google is interviewing candidates for engineering positions at our lunar hosting and research center.' Google went on to say that the facility, set to open in late in the spring of 2007, will house 35 engineers, 27,000 low cost Web servers, two massage therapists and a sushi chef.

On a more serious note, Google's much-lauded announcement of a soon-to-be-launched free e-mail service called Gmail generated widespread speculation online as to whether the offering is a hoax. While the announcement received voluminous media attention, skeptics looked to the wording of Google's press release, which says the service provides a gigabyte of free storage, 'quickly recalls any message an account owner has ever sent or received' and 'can already be used to read and send e-mail in most languages (even Klingon.)'
A Google spokesman confirmed that the free e-mail offering is not a hoax. Boese, of the Museum of Hoaxes, said the e-mail offering didn't sound like a prank.
'If they say they're going to give a gig of space, it wouldn't be that clever or funny a joke because it's too believable,' Boese said. 'But they might get people talking about if this is too good to be true by announcing it on April Fool's.' "
