Google Gmail Custom Time April Fools is funny an we love it

Google you little darlings, oh yes everyone loves April Fools Day for practical jokes and it seems Google are having a good laugh. Google have released their April Fools jokes onto us as the calendars hit April 1.

Welcome to Google Gmail Custom Time where users can send emails with a custom date in the past, putting it in the recipients inbox at the old date, pretty cool ah. You can send emails back to people dating right back to April 1, 2004 which is the day Google launched Gmail.

This joke has apparently caused a little Wikipedia war which is fun and interesting, this is what Google Say ““Gmail utilizes an e-flux capacitor to resolve issues of causality (see Grandfather Paradox)” and links to the Grandfather Paradox on Wikipedia. Someone changed the words “time travel” to “gmail” in a revision , along with the comment “Gmail starts a wiki-war by linking directly to this article on April 1st”
