News of the Weird / Coupla Corrections

In Monday's Pro Edition, "Allen County" Texas is really "Allen Independent School District." In Tuesday's Pro Edition, the 1,000-page poem is really 10,000 pages long. In Sunday's standard News of the Weird column, the "ringworm" that aids digestion isn't really a worm, but a fungus, and it resides actually beyond the stomach.

I can't count the sleepless nights I've had worrying over those errors. I'm thankful that tonight I'll be rested.

The difference between a poem of 1,000 pages and a poem of 10,000 is only in the number of pages that would go unread around here.
