Imagine, if the bear cub had been on this side of the river he would have been tasered several times and then a fireman would have kicked him a lot. As it is, he got a nice buzz, a solid nap, and free travel!
They stole the Google map linky idea from the Trib, who's been doing it for a while now.
Well, linking to a Google Map isn't such an out-there idea. And actually, The O's been using Google Map links in blogs for quite a long time. Here's one from January 2006.
Wow -- a story from 2006. Some day you must show us all the secret of finding anything more than two weeks old on that site.
It would be interesting if you could show us a Google map link from, say, the last three months. It's been the exception, rather than the rule, in your news stories, or blogs, or whatever you're calling that mishmash of a site these days.

I dunno. In some neighborhoods, it's kill, then taser, in that order.
