Corrections

It happens to the best of us.  And we are the best of us, so we're no exception.

We are talking, of course, about making mistakes.  It's unavoidable really.  When you consider the tremendous deadline pressure we are under to bring truth--make that, TRUTH--to the world, it's a wonder we get even half of what we're saying right.  And so, in the spirit of TRUTH, and in imitation of the great journalistic bastions to which we wish to be compared, we offer here the first in an occasional series of CORRECTIONS:

The capital of Japan is not Moosejaw.

Due to en editing error, we erroneously reported that "Mr. Simon Lepz of North Bergen, NJ, was found guilty of snatching, bludgeoning, and parboiling baby ducks."  The sentence should have read, "Mr. Simon Lepz of North Bergen, NJ, was found not guilty of snatching, bludgeoning, and parboiling baby ducks."  We apologize to Mr. Lepz's family.

There is, in fact, no 'i' in team.  We don't know how that one got past us.

Speaking of 'i's, in a report on the recreational harpooning industry, we inadvertently left out the fourth 'i' in 'pneumonoultramicriscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.'

Due to an overindulgence in cake, we were in a bit of a stupor when we composed our piece on the fauna of Madagascar.  There are not, in fact, more than 16 million species of dolphin on the island.  We meant lemurs.

Zoltan Gyongyossy is a modern Hungarian flutist.  He is not a James Bond villain.

In a piece about good dinnertime conversation topics, we should not have included, "Pooh."

We regret the errors.
