OT - A really big oops!!

SYDNEY (AFP) - It's a tiny misprint, but an Australian publisher has had to pulp a cookbook after one recipe called for "salt and freshly ground black people" to be added to the dish.

Penguin Group Australia pulped and reprinted about 7,000 copies of "Pasta Bible" after the typographical error was found in the ingredients for spelt tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto, The Sydney Morning Herald reported Saturday.

Given "peoper" spelchecks to "people" via Google and "o" and "p" are only one character apart on the keyboard I'm actually a little surprised it did not happen sooner.

I'm not sure how "pepper" could accidentally get replaced with "people"

This wasn't the recipe for Soylent Green by any chance?

Somebody switched their "Real Life" recipe with their "Twilight: 2000 Cuisine" recipes.

This week, a meteorological “expert� in a Spanish TV channel stated that radioactive rain was possible in certain parts of Northern and Eastern Europe, due to the eruption of the volcano in Iceland… After a pair of minutes of talk, (where she repeteadly used the term "radioactive" ) she noticed her mistake and started to use the term "acid". Subtle difference...

[Grimace]

heh...yeah...just an ever so slight difference between radioactive and acid. Makes you wonder what protest rally she was planning on attending in the near future.

Or perhaps she already had and had imbibed too much in some after protest refreshment?
