Freshly ground black people?

Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint. - Mark Twain

Well, maybe not you.

Penguin Australia has had to reprint its "Pasta Bible" last week after one recipe listed "salt and freshly ground black people" instead of pepper.

7,000 copies have been reprinted, but there is to be no recall owing to the difficulty in doing so. It would be nice to have one, as it will probably become a collector’s item.

The head of publishing has told the bookstores, "If anyone is small minded enough to complain about this very silly mistake then we will happily replace it for them."

There will be.
