<p>So I guess now all our time on the internet will be spent “Topeka’ing.” Hmmm…it just doesn’t sound the same. Boy, I’ll be glad when it’s Friday!! ;)</p>

<p>thank you for clearing that up; I figured it was some tribute to the Kansas city…</p>

<p>Topeka has been trying to get Google’s new high-speed network; I know Pittsburgh has been also trying to get it. The mayor may have actually said something about changing the city’s name to Google recently.</p>

<p>It’s not just an April Fool’s prank?</p>

<p>Oh, no. Totally serious.</p>

<p>I had heard that Topeka changed their name to Google. They really did do this - temporarily. I thought that Google was cute this morning!</p>

<p>Garland is totally serious. Topeka Kansas changed their name to Google on March 1st. It was a temporary change and lasted a month.</p>

<p>I suppose that this is a good time to let all the pet-lovers out there know that Google has also developed an app for animal translation:

<p>Anyone notice yesterday that Gmail had a temporary vowel outage?</p>

<p>I thought it was amusing that Johns Hopkins University announced they were getting rid of the “s” in “Johns.” They had been planning that prank for a year.</p>

<p>Gotta love those nerds at JHS. :cool:</p>

<p>A REAL Animal Translator would be really easy to design. </p>

<p>Input = any animal noise
Output/Translation = FEED ME.</p>

<p>lol</p>
