That's pretty funny, wow!  I've seen typos in LEGO catalog before, but
usually they were grammatical typos.  :)

Hmm, maybe it was an intentional error.  I wonder if TLG is now starting to
do what moviemakers do for scripts -- introduce errors here and there on
purpose, so that if the information is leaked, it has a better chance of
being tracked back to its source so that the leak can be plugged.  Maybe
someone will find themselves taking a long walk off a short pier.  :)
