You know how when you know something about something and the press does a write
up on it and they get it all WRONG?
Scary, ain't it?
I found the feedback section and emailed AP and
told them their frog was covered in duckweed and not algae.
Only did that once before. To the editor of our local paper - headline said
"Man rescued from cab of truck" story below reported that a man's body was
recovered from a truck that had gone off a bridge and was at the bottom of the
river.
Poor fellow was dead, loooooong past the need of rescue.
