Every year on April 1, Google plays an April Fools' trick on its users. The company has pulled pranks such as announcing plans to launch a broadband wireless service that uses sewers as its infrastructure, and revealing that pigeons were the secret sauce behind its search technology.

This year was no exception. Yesterday Google announced it has changed its name to Topeka, in honor of the city in Kansas, according to the prank. This name change was inspired by the town's announcement in March that it would change its name to Google, in hopes of attracting the search giant to make its broadband network available in the town. Google said the best way to honor Topeka was to take its name.
