It has been brought to our attention here at Google
that the message about Ed Conrad's funeral -- and
the stoppage of all traffic in Pennsylvania while
his lifeless body is being lowered to his grave --
is TOTAL FICTION.
<
First of all, Conrad  -- aka The Ultimate Troll --is still
alive and not-too-well and currently a resident of the
Looney Bin Mental Hospital only a half-hour drive from
our majestic headquarters here in Mountain View, CA.
<
Sources tell us that Mr. Conrad had gotten out
of his padded cell sometime Sunday night, broke
into Nurse Ratchet's office and used her computer
and password to post a zany message to Google,
Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.
<
We apologize for the inconvenience we're sure this
has caused and in the future promise to keep even
closer tabs on postings by our valued customers.
