You Are Not In Kansas, Chuck Norris Is Not Dead

B-list celebrities better keep a sharp eye out today, Twitter is celebrating its first April Fool’s Day as a full blown mass media force and killing off the ‘where are they now’ famous among us is just the sort of festivity Twitter revels in. To that end, I feel obligated to tell you that Chuck Norris is not dead. Or paralyzed for life. Or anything other than his normal (ish), fighting, Huckabee supporting, self.

Also, Google has not renamed itself Topeka. Google, which prides itself on its yearly April 1 joke, changed its homepage logo today to Topeka (admittedly, more funny than tricky). Confused? From the blog:

Early last month the mayor of Topeka, Kansas stunned the world by announcing that his city was changing its name to Google. We’ve been wondering ever since how best to honor that moving gesture. Today we are pleased to announce that as of 1AM (Central Daylight Time) April 1st, Google has officially changed our name to Topeka.

You can’t get any more on the map than that! But stay tuned…April Fool’s usually runs till noon and we suspect the world may have more up its sleeve.
