They renamed the latter to Bing. The state made billions off that deal.

Were they going 18 times the speed of light at the time?

I saw a CNN map once that had Missouri labeled as "MS". I'm guessing whoever was making the map didn't know the abbreviation for Missouri and took a bad guess.

"MO" should be "AR"! =:-O Thanks for pointing it out, bugo. My wife's family didn't come from east of Oklahoma, more like North of Oklahoma, and it's not Kansas! xD

We tend to be wrong sometimes on the internet when we think we "know" some stuff, but try to relearn it on the somewhat reliable wikipedia or use google search, and have CNN staff learn a little more of geography before repeating the same errors or mistakes (don't we all make them?) when displaying a map of a (or nearby) state.

CNN and Fox news share the same scroll graphics now?
