Computer Introducing Gmail Paper

Now in Gmail, you can request a physical copy of any message with the click of a button, and we'll send it to you in the mail.

But what about the environment?
Not a problem. Gmail Paper is made out of 96% post-consumer organic soybean sputum, and thus, actually helps the environment. For every Gmail Paper we produce, the environment gets incrementally healthier.
Wow! Thanks, gmail!

I'm guessing that's why snopes posted it under "Humor".

Spit Take

Tisp had me fooled too... someone at work sent it to me so I forwarded it to myself and was going to forward it to my friends until I read it. Then laughed, felt infinitely embarrassed, and decided to pass it on anyway.
