Comment: Hooks are quite lame because I made them up on the spot.

@Epicgenius: Article is new enough, long enough, and very well sourced. Passes the Earwig test, the only similarities it's picking up are the New York City Department of Parks and the name of the park itself. Hooks are decently interesting, though I recommend using ALT0.
