Topeka, Kansas Mayor Bill Bunten yesterday signed a proclamation temporarily changing the city’s name to “Google, Kansas – the capital city of fiber optics”. Residents will have to put up with that mouthful until the end of March as Topeka tries to get Google’s attention wrt their broadband experiment.

No word on whether residents will be required to name their offspring born in March after the Web search giant.
