Topeka, Kansas has officially changed its name to Google. As in, Google, Kansas. The city council voted in favor of it, although the name will only persist for the month of March and will then revert back to Topeka. Does that mean third-grade kids learning their state capitals this month will have to memorize it as Google?

Strangely enough, twelve years ago Topeka renamed itself ToPikachu, in reference to the Pokemon character. Yes, seriously.
