"The City Room column in some editions last Thursday, about Philip L. Sherman, a mohel who has, by his own estimate, performed 20,000 ritual circumcisions, erroneously included the name of a celebrity among those whose families were his clients. The son of Michael J. Fox was not circumcised by Mr. Sherman."

"An article in some editions on Friday about the closings of two of New York’s musical mainstays — Bleecker Bob’s Golden Oldies in Greenwich Village and the performance space Southpaw in Brooklyn — misstated the plans for the record store’s property. While a manager at Bleecker Bob’s said it would become a Starbucks, the company says it will not open a store there."

"An earlier version of this article incorrectly described imagery from 'The Shining.' The gentleman seen with the weird guy in the bear suit is wearing a tuxedo, but not a top hat."

"An article on Saturday about reactions to Kim Kardashian’s announcement, after 72 days of marriage, that she would be divorced misstated, at one point, the surname of a prominent author who wrote a limerick about her in Twitter messages. He is Salman Rushdie, not Rushie."

"Correction: October 22, 2011 An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the premise of 'Angry Birds,' a popular iPhone game. In the game, slingshots are used to launch birds to destroy pigs and their fortresses, not to shoot down the birds."

This is one of my favorite corrections ever: "A report on Wednesday about the launch of Google's Art Project was illustrated by a painting, The Harvesters, by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, and a detailed close-up of a scene in the background. The article and caption stated that this showed a family 'enjoying a jolly Shrove Tuesday game of throwing sticks at the tied-up goose'. Several readers were confused about a Shrovetide game being played in what is, in the painting, obviously harvest time in August or September. To clarify, the pastime was known as 'cock-throwing' (the bird often being a rooster rather than a goose) and, while indeed associated with Shrove Tuesday, may well have been played at other times of the year."

"Because of an editing error, the Evening Hours column last Sunday misstated the name of a guest at the opening of the Winter Antiques Show at the Park Avenue Armory. She is Michele Majer, not Kermina Suzani (the name for the style of carpet shown in the picture immediately to the right)."

"'How does that work exactly?' asked a reader, on being informed in a column that 'an unauthorised autobiography of London's mayor' was in the works. This was an editing error (Diary, 25 November, page 39)."

I dunno, this made me laugh: "This article was amended on 8 November 2010. The original had 'sceptic' tank, and we're sure the writer meant septic. This has been corrected." I'm picturing the tank curling a suspicious eyebrow and being all, "I don't buy it." Like the Dr. House of toilets. But maybe that's just me.
