Here's my idea that'll never get implemented by me: pizza and movies delivered together. If you could do beer, too, you might as well. Make a minimum for movies-only deliveries. Although, this is idea may have been obsoleted as the lazy probably already know about Netflix.
Oh, I forgot. You can rounded corners using CSS too:

It uses 24bit PNGs so it might not be an option if it has to look the same in every browser.
What fuyugare said about the brace.
If that doesn't fix it, give the footer a negative bottom margin equal to the height of the images. So, if the images are 5 pixels tall:
margin-bottom: -5px;
You might have to play with that value but it should work. You really should run that page through a validator too. You've got markup problems. And check the CSS for any other problems.
It took the invention of the Internet for me to finally find out what vegemite is. Wikepedia describes it as a "salty food paste."
Now, I'm not sure I really need to know.

I think he's trying to tell you something, Mom.
My bad. You want ArcExplorer not ArcReader.
So, open a shapefile in ArcExplorer, print to PDF (or PostScript), open in Illustrator. I tried this (printing to PDF not PS) and it worked. There's tons of free base GIS data out there.
Sorry for the multiple posts.
I can't think of any free sources (that aren't GIS data) off-hand but you can find a lot maps online in PDF format. So, one option is find a map that you like in PDF and open it in Illustrator. You'll probably have to edit it a lot to get just the shapes you want but this should work.
You could also download ESRI's free ArcReader, find shapefiles for the area you're interested in and print the map to a PDF which you can then edit in Illustrator.
I call dibs on the Crunchies.. and the Snacks. You can have the all the Smarties.
My Granny worked for Cadbury in Dublin. When she'd come to visit she'd bring a big box packed with nothing but Cadbury's candies. My sisters and I would very carefully divide the candy into equal piles. It was a treasure.
I'm almost glad Cadbury's isn't more common in the U.S., its rarity makes it the more sweet.
Brief but good. Thanks.

Everytime I see a site like this I start clicking on the images for larger versions. They never have them, I suppose, for obvious reasons.
I like the TV theory. There wouldn't be a glare from a flash if you don't use a flash.
Cheat: Try moving your mouse out of the Flash frame really fast after pressing Go and back in really fast onto Stop or the tunnel in higher levels. It doesn't seem to be able to track the mouse if you move it fast enough.
They come off as disgruntled to me. And, the author's 'gotcha' question did get an interesting reaction. It sounds like they've set up their own personal ashram.

Aghhhhhh... I lied. ArcExplorer does some nasty rasterizing when you try to print. I'm going to go crawl in hole now.

P.S. You can get many free base map layers (counties, etc.) from the USGS. You want the shapefiles for use in ArcReader.
