Read the caption

 

The Daily Mail had a very interesting story about the aftereffects of Hurricane Sally on the Gulf Coast:

Thousands of starfish washed ashore on Florida beach after Hurricane Sally ripped through the area last week

They also had an interesting picture with an even more interesting caption.





If you can't read the second sentence, here it is verbatim:

"Experts say storms have brought these creatures ashore, but never of this magnetite."

(Click on it if you don't believe me, or if it's too small to read.)

Umm, magnetite is ferric oxide, Fe2O3.  I believe they meant "magnitude".  Also, they should have written "Experts say storms have brought these creatures ashore before, ..."

I could make so much money as a Daily Mail proofreader.
