      Me stupid, I kept reading the article looking for clues. Then I re-read the headline. Well spotted I feel ashamed for not spotting it straight away.

      I bet the copy editor who missed that will face a stiff penalty.

      As someone has probably already pointed out... the New York Times actually made this typo back in 2008!

      Was this really a typo, or someone with a sense of humor trying to pass it off as a typo?

      Either way it is funny.
