Possibly the best New York Times correction ever, lol




Correction: December 30, 2011

An article on Monday about Jack Robinson and Kirsten Lindsmith, two college students with Asperger syndrome who are navigating the perils of an intimate relationship, misidentified the character from the animated children's TV show "My Little Pony" that Ms. Lindsmith said she visualized to cheer herself up. It is Twilight Sparkle, the nerdy intellectual, not Fluttershy, the kind animal lover.

Original article: Navigating Love and Autism (//vny!://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/26/us/navigating-love-and-autism.html?pagewanted=all)  (great article, by the way)

Actually, this one may top the New York Times correction....

Andrew D. Basiago and William Stillings are a pair of self-proclaimed "time-traveling government agents" that claim President Obama was part of a CIA mission to explore Mars beginning in 1980.

They say he was, in fact, teleported directly to the surface of Mars using a matter transporter chamber called a "jump room."

In response to this claim,  a spokesman for the National Security Council responded on the record to state that, no,  "Obama has never been to Mars".


Lol, I love this country!!
