Welcome to Topeka, Kansas
Scratch that.
Welcome to Google, Kansas

Amazingly, in respect to Google over the years, Topeka, Kansas has agreed to chan their name to Google, Kansas. We're not sure how much Google gave Topeka, but were sure it's a lot.

WOW!
I just learned that in respect to Kansas, Google is changing their name to Topeka. This is amazing sign of charity from Google! We're not sure if YouTube will be back to normal though, after the stupid change in layout.

This is Amazing and will change the lives of everyone. All the way to parents thinking Topeka is a porn search engine! Enjoy!

Those parents have no respect for Kansas.


Not even Kansas has respect for Kansas, so that's nothing new.

Would you ever want to live in Drain, Oregon? I'd much rather live in Google, Kansas.

I know, but renaming a city of 120,000 after an online search engine is silly. Like Hooker, Oklahoma, Intercourse, Alabama, Chicken, Alaska, Gay, Georgia, Accident, Maryland and all those other weirdly named cities.

******, Oklahoma


What's that one called...?

Intercourse, Alabama


Now that one made me laugh. The rest of them are understandable, and can have another meaning, but this one is just ridiculous. :P

Hook. I know hook and er isn't inherently inappropriate (Hook er is a surname) but it is considered inappropriate because well..... you know.


but this one is just ridiculous. :P


It was named after an intersection or something. They don't call 'em intercourses anymore.

A few more.

Experiment, Pennsylvania
Fertility, Pennsylvania
Pillow, Pennsylvania
Nipple, Utah
War, West Virginia

There also used to be a place named [illegitimate child], Ontario.

I want to say "I live in a Nipple."

The word nipple is under-appreciated.

Hmm...most likely having to do with milking cows. I don't know why you'd name a town after any other animal's nipples, and that includes humans.

Well goats are the most milked animals in the world, but that obviously doesn't correlate over here.

Why so many in Penn's Forest? Does the Society of Friends have something for naming towns strangely?

There also used to be a place named [illegitimate child], Ontario.

I wonder what the inspiration for that was?

Yeah, I actually read about it, forgot it and now I remember it again.

It would make sense for me to give you a link to the list. I double checked the cities I posted on Google.

I thought those were the more interesting ones. It is just coincidence that they are in Penn's forest.

I have no idea. The [illegitimate child] Township, Ontario merged with a few others a while back.

I wonder why would you name your town Nipple, when it is out in the desert next to the Nevadan border.

I want to say "I live in a Nipple."


I think that place is abandoned. There is also a summit named Ferns Nipple there. Odd.

Imagine my face yesterday when I go to Google to look up how long and how much money it will take me to build a PC, and I see in huge, colorful letters, TOPEKA.
