Typo

When I do my daily vending routes in the morning, I usually grab a copy of the Daily Universe to read in between stops (except when it's my turn to drive). Yesterday, there was not a newspaper to be found. The newspapers had all been delivered early in the morning, but then someone noticed a little typo on the front page and called the editors. Every copy of the Daily Universe was recalled and recycled and new copies were reprinted and redelivered by noon. Everyone was wondering was the typo was. Luckily, there were a few people who had picked up some newspapers before they were collected and we searched for the typo. We found it on the caption of a photograph of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles sustaining someone (the article was a review of General Conference). This is what the caption said:

Members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostates and other general authorities raise their hands in a sustaining vote.

Over 18,500 copies were recalled, and each copy was 14 pages long. Thats 259,000 pages. Using a calculation from this website, that would be cutting down 3.2 pine trees. Maybe less because newspaper sheets are bigger.

This was the first time in over 30 years that the newspaper had to be recalled because of an editing error. If you want to see the Daily Universe's explanation and apology, you can look here.
