Extra, extra! Google has "officially" changed it's name to "Topeka!" Yes, as in Kansas. Apparently, they decided to do this after the governor of Kansas changed the capital city to "Google".
Here's the article, taken straight from the Google--sorry, TOPEKA, blog:

Google has always had good ideas!It's a Twitter trending topic, and Twitter describes it as "Google changed its logo to read Topeka to avoid confusion with the city in Kansas that changed its name to "Google" in a bid for the company's fiber network experiment (April 1)." I love that they don't give it away!

My favorite joke thus far is YouTube's TEXTp. Favorite to the point where I really, really hope they keep it as a joke feature. Because of awesomeness.
