April Fools'!

quote [ A wise man (Mel Brooks) once said, "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die." Updating that for the new millennium, you get, "Tragedy is when I make a typo. Comedy is when you get 60,000V of electricity pumped through you and I catch it all on camera." ]

Thinkgeek's classic April Fool's page is the main link.

Introducing Gmail Custom Time

How do I use it?
Just click "Set custom time" from the Compose view. Any email you send to the past appears in the proper chronological order in your recipient's inbox. You can opt for it to show up read or unread by selecting the appropriate option.

It's not a realistic urination sim unless the stream randomly comes out in two separate streams before joining into one sometimes.

It's not just about aim. It's about luck.
ethanos said @ 3:58pm GMT on 1st Apr
you are RIGHT! A real simulation would have you think you are hitting the target, but look down when you zip up to see that you have also just peed down your leg.

GAME OVER.

The worst ones are the promise of something so great that it seems almost possible. Then you realize there's no fucking way and have to deal with the crushing disappointment.

though I guess it's probably not that funny for anyone who doesn't know what psyop is.
