Everybody makes mistakes, and we've made enough of our own -- oh, confusing the Vatican astronomer with a Vatican astrologer comes to mind painfully, and the time a reporter mistakenly attributed those comments to Knight Ridder chief Tony Ridder in the middle of the Detroit newspaper strike, and ... but enough about us.
