On its landing page is the strange name TOPEKA, a name that sounds like something from the 1950s. Yes a retro name. Yes, too 2Oth century. Right there, only the most sheltered rube would get fooled by that joke. Then there is this little announcement: "Not In Kansas: learn about our new name."
Yeah. So I clicked to get a little more info. Top of the page is this statement: "Early last month the mayor of Topeka, Kansas stunned the world by announcing that his city was changing its name to Google. We’ve been wondering ever since how best to honor that moving gesture. Today we are pleased to announce that as of 1AM (Central Daylight Time) April 1st, Google has officially changed our name to Topeka."
HaHa Ho Ho. What a weak joke.
Now, if the folks at Goggle, I mean Google, had claimed to have been acquired by an iintergalactic corporate empire, and admit that it is now being run by space aliens --. Well? That some people could believe.
