Chrome is not bullet-proof

My wife and I have been unable to read Eisengeiste for almost a week because our browsers (Chrome 41.0) crashed every time we tried to load the page. I isolated the cause to this (very fascinating!) post about the late Lee Kuan Yew. I spent about an hour debugging it, first thinking (incorrectly) that the huge TIFF image of all the coffee shops was the cause.

Turns out it was this href in an anchor tag was the culprit:

href="http://the%20determinedly%20irreplaceable%20lee%20kuan%20yew%2
0is%20the%20world%27s%20most%20intelligent%2C%20and%20to%20some%20mo
st%20likable%20despot.%20in%20our%20one%20hour%27s%20talk%2C%20he%20
offered%20insights%20about%20china%20to%20be%20reported%20in%20a%20f
uture%20column%2C%20unless%20my%20publisher%20gets%20sued%2C%20bankr
upted%2C%20jailed%20and%20flayed%20with%20a%20cane%20in%20the%20mean
time./"

So be careful cut-n-pasting those URLs, yo!
