I heard a rumour. Here is proof! Its on the www.google.com website.

That reminds me of the old story that goes:

Every day from the time that bull calf was born, I picked it up and put it over the fence. Time passed and that calf grew bigger every day but I had no problem. If I had stopped for even one day, you see, I would have failed. But I *didn't* stop and the day came when I could easily lift that full grown bull over the fence.

And if you don't believe me, I can show you that fence, right now.

Did you click the link? DID you go to Google?

This is no RickRoll!

It's only fair, since Topeka has changed its name to Google....

(I've been in Topeka....ate at the Squat 'n Gobble, which I suppose is now the Squat & Google.)

Yes, but will the link take us to Topeka tomorrow?

For that matter, other than Kansas-born BillD, who in the world would really want to go to Topeka?
Happy April Fool's Day, Bill. You finally made it to the big time.

So, if www.google.com leads to Topeka in the U.S. today, where does it lead people from other nations?

Well, Rev. Phelps seems to like it there.......but then he does spend a lot of time elsewhere.

*sigh*... one of the crosses Topeka has to bear is Rev. Phelps and his family.

Have patience with me,literal minded as I am: JtS's link simply takes me to Google's page. (?)

Well, Ebbie, in much of the world (not you and me), it is April 2, and Google is Google again. Topeka was but a dream....
And for those of you who wonder, Google is located right next to the NASA facility at Moffett Field, the former Zeppelin base which still has huge Zeppelin hangars.

Yesterday Google's page said "Topeka" instead of "Google."
