"Invasion of Alien Crustaceans"
No, that's not the title of a so-bad-it's-almost-entertaining 60's sci-fi movie, it's a quote from an actual BBC News article entitled "Norway Fears Giant Crab Invasion." That title comes from the philosophy that people who are thinking "huh??" are more likely to click. Hey, it worked on me.

umm, for some reason I couldn't see the answers. what were they?
Probably your Mac is "special." The answers are E and B.
Here's something that surprised me: Chicago is further north than New York (and is on the same latitude as Rome).
You're exactly right, my Mac is very special. Thanks for the answers. ;-)
Actually, the problem might have to do with your javascript, treeinforest. :-P
It's something about how Internet Explorer handles the HTML DOM differently from everyone else.
The fix is simple though...
instead of saying:
c1.style.color = 'red'
say:
document.getElementById('c1').style.color = 'red';
I apologize to everyone I just bored with this comment. hehe
Thanks for the tip. I changed it and it seems to still work on IE. I guess we'll see if it works on 'special' computers.
Well, FYI, it does now work in Firefox under Linux...
(it also now works in Opera & Konqueror under Linux as well)
