Great newspaper corrections...

Great newspaper corrections...  The traditional newspaper correction notice is (or at least, used to be) something of an art form – for some reason, most especially in the British press.  The Listener, out of New Zealand, has collected some of the best.  Here's one example, from the London Sun:
In an article on Saturday headlined ‘Flying saucers over British Scientology HQ’, we stated ‘two flat silver discs’ were seen ‘above the Church of Scientology HQ’. Following a letter from lawyers for the Church, we apologise to any alien lifeforms for linking them to Scientologists.
Hah!
