	What a hideous URL.

http://maps.yahoo.com/maps.py?addr=1900+shattuck+avenue&csz=berkeley,ca

	See?  Clear, legible, and doesn't wrap your terminal.  You
could snarf&barf it easily.  It also conveys the address without
including a bunch of hex-encoded baloney.

	Also, it has a .py extension, which is far superior to
whatever ASP-derivative "ADP" is.

	Anyway, December 10 eh?  That's planning ahead, kids!
