It has sparked an Idea, which I would require to call upon ALL TOPEKANS, as us at Temple of groove would love to configure a Social Network application geared Specifically towards Topekans, We will name this Topekas as a combination of Topeka and Kansas. If we find support this would be in the works. Email us at info@templeofgroove.com or visit us at http://www.templeofgroove.com/ as we have already purchased http://www.topekas.org/

So many of them thought they had the wrong site when TOPEKA popped up. However, some of the kids are used to the different Google logos that the humor passed right by them. Thanks for making a teacher's day! :); April 1, 2010 at 5:54 PM
