My "internet" pal Jessica Easto, who
used to go by an anonymous code name on this "blog" for reasons I doubt either of us can recall, tweeted about a recent correction in
the New York Times. Here is
a "link," also provided by Jessica, to that correction, which apologizes for misrepresenting the "poop" of
eagles and
ospreys as purple. "They eat fish, and their poop is white." So gravely states the New York Times with regret for its previous error. The comma makes it elegant somehow.
