Your link is now for the main page – here’s a [direct story link](http://www.comcast.net/news/international/europe/index.jsp?cat=EUROPE&fn=/2007/06/12/687903.html). And yeah, Knut’s cuteness has definitely run its course.

Oddly, the link sometimes go to the right story, sometimes to the main page. I have had it do both on two different occasions.
