For those of you who don't know what I am talking about here is a summary.
The mayor of Topeka temporarily changed the city's name to "Google" in order to attract a Google project that involves high speed internet.
So everyone, if you are going to Kansas, make sure to make a stop in Google.

Anyway...
So on April 1st Google (the search engine) temporarily changed its name to Topeka!
I about fell off my chair laughing! Seriously.
Then if you typed in topeka.com it rerouted to the google site. Google is quite clever.
**disclaimer: a few years ago the mayor renamed Topeka , ToPikachu, in tribute to the Pokemon rage...This leads me to believe that the mayor of Topeka is quite the hilarious man.
