How to attach persistent disk on running instance at Google Compute

So I have this USD300 credit for two months period to play around with Google compute. I had created an instance, but with very small storage, 10GB. Then I decide nothing much can be done with that, so I created a persistent disk. Google compute's documentation is incomplete and terrible, so we need to do try and error. So this is the confirmed workable solution that I tested: Let say we created a project name "blah-1234" and a persistent disk name "disk-for-blah" to be attached to a VM instance named "vm-blah" Please replace the --zone ~$ gcloud compute instances attach-disk --project "blah-1234" vm-blah  --disk disk-for-blah --zone asia-east1-c If everything is fine (it'll take few seconds for the disk to be attached. You'll be prompted with the following output) : Updated [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/blah-1234/zones/asia-east1-c/instances/vm-blah].
Google TiSP-April Fool? source Google TiSP (BETA) is a fully functional, end-to-end system that provides in-home wireless access by connecting your commode-based TiSP wireless router to one of thousands of TiSP Access Nodes via fiber-optic cable strung through your local municipal sewage lines. Installing a typical home TiSP system is a quick, easy and largely sanitary process -- provided you follow these step-by-step instructions very, very carefully. #1 Remove the spindle of fiber-optic cable from your TiSP installation kit. #2 Attach the sinker to the loose end of the cable, take one safe step backward and drop this weighted end into your toilet. #3 Grasp both ends of the spindle firmly while a friend or loved one flushes, thus activating the patented GFlush™ system, which sends the weighted cable surfing through the plumbing system to one of the thousands of TiSP Access Nodes. #4 When the GFlush is complete, the spindle will (...
