Part of my job is to check journalists' stories and make sure they make sense, but sometimes the mistakes are too funny not to share.

Outside, there is a paved patio and shire-approved shed with concrete flower and power.

The more I scrutinise a profession, the less respect I tend to have for it.

I remember 'the west' did a feature on the Vietnam War which had factual inconsistencies on the front page article compared to the lift-out feature inside.

From memory the they stated very different dates on the invasion of Saigon and one article stated the NVA forces invaded while the other stated that the invasion was by Viet Cong (and went on to refer to Viet Cong as if they were the whole north vietnamese armed forces for the rest of the feature). All asians look alike eh?

Hope you weren't responsible for letting that slip snaketales, if so, I still had a good laugh anyway

TF related news goof. Either the millions spent on marketing hasn't worked or someone didn't do their editing.

I... think the history of maths/science is rather interesting. Especially the contributions made by Hindu-Islam which modern European-biased history usually overlooks. Do people think we use Hindu-Arabic numerals (e.g. 1234567890) just for fun?
