What’s that, you say? Try a search for “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” on the Roger Ebert page of the Chicago Sun Times site? Well, okay…

Only 22 more years until Casablanca premières.
So, searching for a very specific film title matches the intended review on the penultimate line of the third and last page of results, while adding a surplus century to the date. Oh, and articles that aren’t reviews are displayed as though they were very bad reviews.

I’ve been “driving” around Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver today on Google’s Street View. Just visit an address in a city down south in Google Maps and then drag the little orange man icon over to the street of your choice.
