    Another good one was in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which stated in the entry for the planet Traal that "Ravenous Bugblatter Beasts often make a good meal for visiting tourists" instead of "Ravenous Bugblatter Beasts often make a good meal OF visiting tourists".
    The editors claimed that the first version was correct because it read better.

    I just assumed that co-op lover was a bot. Not so sure now.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    My normally "so white the sun puts on sunglasses when I go outside" Scottish complexion is now bright red and lobsterified after a beautiful sunny day outdoors watching the Red Arrows and then on to the beer garden.

    Stick a fork in me, I'm done.... :)
