In my recent post this weekend, “I have some bad news for you,” I made two specific and not insubstantial errors.
One, life on this planet is posited to be between 3.7 and 4.0 billion years, not “million,” as I originally wrote. That mental brain freeze might be excusable, but not the next one.
I wrote that the Winter Olympics will be in Shang Hai. Huh? Yeah, I wrote that. It’s Beijing.
Additionally, I dropped a zero from one number I was citing.
If you remember the comedian Flip Wilson, you’ll understand this: The devil made me do it!
You know what they say on public transport, such as at the airport: If you see something, say something. Put another way, don’t be shy about correcting me in the Comments section.
