The Best Correction In New York Times History, Period.

Say what you want about the newspaper industry, but dammit, when the New York Times makes a mistake – ANY mistake – they own up to it:


Ahhhh, she visualized TWILIGHT SPARKLE, not Fluttershy! That makes so much more sense. Cause when I first read that piece, I was like “Wait, her favorite pony is Fluttershy? Haha, ok! We’ll just have to agree to disagree. TEAM TWILIGHT SPARKLE 4EVS!”

So, best correction in New York Times history, or is this one still the champ?

The beverage of champions? Coffee, apparently! The New York Times reported on the latest research linking caffeine with impressive, increased exercise stamina (so much so, that the research subjects were more apt to want to work out longer and more frequently after they'd had a sugar-free, caffeinated beverage).

Olympic athletes have known about the caffeine-stamina trick for some time, of course. The Times points out that in urine tests, the majority of professional athletes have caffeine in their bodies. Hey, it's legal and it works.
