It also has a YouTube video:
Google is really outdoing itself with the April Fools stuff this year.

April Fools
I remember watching this on TV in Switzerland when I was a kid. It's apparently one of the first April Fools hoaxes by a major media outlet. It's about how the spaghetti crop in Switzerland was below average in 1957. It is a full video and was awesomely funny.
Guardian switches from print to twitter
Consolidating its position at the cutting edge of new media technology, the Guardian today announces that it will become the first newspaper in the world to be published exclusively via Twitter, the sensationally popular social networking service that has transformed online communication.
"[Celebrated Guardian editor] CP Scott would have warmly endorsed this - his well-known observation 'Comment is free but facts are sacred' is only 36 characters long," a spokesman said in a tweet that was itself only 135 characters long.
A mammoth project is also under way to rewrite the whole of the newspaper's archive, stretching back to 1821, in the form of tweets. Major stories already completed include "1832 Reform Act gives voting rights to one in five adult males yay!!!"; "OMG Hitler invades Poland, allies declare war see tinyurl.com/b5x6e for more"; and "JFK assassin8d @ Dallas, def. heard second gunshot from grassy knoll WTF?"
