Last month the mayor of Topeka, Kansas announced that the city would change its name to Google.
In response to this gesture, Google has announced that as of 1am today, it has officially changed the company name to Topeka.
There has been considerable controversy about the historical origin and meaning of Topeka however. Explorers in Kansas in the 1800s reported that Indians living in the area pronounced and spelled the name as “To-poo- ka,” which meant “a good place to dig potatoes,” and “To-pe-ka,” meaning “a place to find small wild potatoes.”
As a result, Topeka, Inc (formerly Google, Inc) will no longer display search engine results to visitors, but instead provide users with daily potato recipes, farming tips, etc.
Not to be out done by this move, several other Internet based companies have also decided to change their names beginning today:
Twitter.com is changing its name to WhoCares.com,
Match.com will become DateALoser.com,
MySpace.com is changing its name to Pedophilia.com, and
FaceBook will officially become Enough Pictures of you Getting Drunk Already, Inc.
