In case you were wondering what the best factual correction in an article of all time (of all time!) is, here you go. A close second is this gem from The Guardian,

In our interview with Sir Jack Hayward, the chairman of Wolverhampton Wanderers, page 20, Sport, yesterday, we mistakenly attributed to him the following comment: “Our team was the worst in the First Division and I’m sure it’ll be the worst in the Premier League.” Sir Jack had just declined the offer of a hot drink.

The second film to ever reach $1 billion in revenue, The Return of the King joined Titanic for back-to-back billion-dollar Best Picture winners.

The only major criticism about the film, which remains a canonical achievement in how to use special effects to enhance a film (looking at you, Michael Bay), is its running time of 201 minutes. Looking at the four other films it was up against, only Lost in Translation came close to its critical acclaim.

With the break-up of the Heat to the astounding playoff inexperience of the league’s top teams relative to OKC, overcoming the stingy defense of Memphis will be their toughest task.
