How come I only get ten?

Our researchers have concluded that allowing each person more than ten pre-dated emails per year would cause people to lose faith in the accuracy of time, thus rendering the feature useless.

Their findings:
N = Total emails sent
P = Probability that user believes the time stamp
φ = The Golden Ratio
L = Average life expectancy
Yes. Epic fools joke

Considering last year when they 'offered' consumers free high-speed wireless Internet through their home plumbing systems - I'm pretty sure this too is a joke!

Also, check out all of Google's past hoaxes - some are pretty funny!

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Guys, there's no way this is a prank. Google owns everything, why not time? I mean, there's some fancy jargon, I'm sold.

I broke something apparently. I tried to reply with the after the first post, it never appeared. So I retyped it. Same thing. I almost notified Kmarion, but I worked 12 hours yesterday so I couldnt be bothered

I come home to day, wake up the PC from sleep and ffs its still "loading" the same reply Anyways it was a good April Fool's Day; the innovative ideas Google comes up with is pretty if you ask me.   Funny how many "other" thread about this spawned, too.
