A little snippet from a newspaper
Posted: Fri Aug 08, 2003 11:53 am
Seen in the Evening Standard (the London evening paper).
There may not be that many red-blooded man who read The Guardian,
but an item in that newspaper's Corrections and Clarifications column surely deserves
a wider audience. It states "In an article about the adverse health effects of certain
kinds of clothing we omitted a decimal point when quoting a doctor on the optimum
temperature of testicles. They should be 2.2 degrees Celcius below core body
temperature, not 22 degrees lower." Important to get that right.
