Bismarck is the capital of North Dakota a couple of hundred miles or

Wasn't there some small mid-western
town which named itself Bismarck
in the 19'th century?

At 79, Bill Bunten doesn't exactly understand the Internet
boom. The
Topeka, Kansas, mayor has an e-mail account, he said, but
his
assistants take care of most of his online communications
and tend to
search the Web for him.
But Bunten believes so firmly that younger residents of
Kansas'
capital city will benefit from faster Internet connections
that he
wants Topeka -- which he describes as a place of many lakes
and the
site of a burgeoning market for animal-food research -- to
change its
name for a month.
In a formal proclamation Monday, Bunten announced his city
will be
known as "Google" -- Google, Kansas.
