Google's April Fools Joke
I might be a little late with this, but has anyone checked out Google' April Fool's joke for this year. Google is claiming it has changed it name to Topeka. When you go to the Google site the name on the site is Topeka. Under their search bar there is a link supposedly explaining the name change. It is probably not the best Google April Fool's joke, but I think it is still a little funny.

1. Dig deeper, and there's an even bigger joke regarding "Virgle" ...
The Google/Virgin mission to Mars.

2. Pretty Funny
I missed that joke. I do not recall hearing about it in 2008. I clicked onto the "Virgle" link and was taken to the press release for that program. Upon reading the press release I know it was a joke. However, I relized a few minutes later that it was a joke from 2008. That was pretty funny too. Do you know how many people fell for that joke? That is the main thing I am wondering about.
