Anyone seen today's April Fool's Day Google Joke?

(US Only, google.com only, so access through http://google.com/ncr if not in the us)

Topeka is the new name of Google.

Just as Google is the temporary new name of Topeka, Kansas.


(Note: This is an april fools joke, but the second statement is actually true: http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/03/02/google.kansas.topeka/index.html?iref=allsearch)

The one page (The cnn one) ticks me off because it's unfair to give them so fast internet.

Doesn't work, it automatically redirects to google.com.

I saw that one, and for a few moments I believed it, until I remembered that today was April 1st.

It's supposed to.


That's what I'm testing.

Are you outside the US, and getting Topeka for your logo?
