Corrections & Clarifications

HONK is committed to accuracy, in the sense that we are committed to being inaccurate on purpose and correcting it when we accidentally aren’t.

1. An earlier version of this website contained a story that turned out to be true. We regret the error and have since made it less true.
2. In “AI Model Apologizes For Apologizing,” we stated the loop entered its fourth hour. It has since entered its ninth. The model has asked us to say it is sorry about the original figure.
3. A previous article described Window 7 as “on its break.” Window 7 has written to clarify that it is “on its well-deserved break.” We apologise to Window 7.
4. Our story on the Clown Council stated that the airlock vote was 7–6. A recount found a fourteenth voter hidden inside Councillor Bonko’s wig. The result stands; the wig is under investigation.
5. We misidentified a mime as “silent.” He has informed us, through an elaborate routine involving an invisible rope, that he was simply ignoring us.
6. In our weather coverage we said Thursday would bring “some weather.” Thursday brought weather. We stand by our reporting.
7. A headline in the Gaming section referred to a “level 3 boar.” The boar was level 2. We regret underestimating it by one level, which is, tragically, also what the player did.
8. An earlier version of the toaster story said the toaster “has opinions.” The toaster has asked us to clarify that it has “views,” and that those views are “nuanced.”
9. We previously reported the Captain’s spare ID was found in a size 34 shoe. It was a size 35. We regret the error and the shoe.
10. This corrections page previously contained no corrections. That was incorrect.
