Just when ‘history’s greatest printing error’ can’t get any funnier, it scales new heights
We’re grateful to @IvanBrett for revisiting, 44 years on, ‘history’s greatest printing error’.
It’s an article from the Peterborough Standard which went viral (again) on Twitter for reasons which are about to become obvious.
And just when you think it can’t get any funnier, it somehow manages to scale still further heights.

Will surely never be bettered.

This is incredible. My grandfather worked on newspaper printing presses his whole life and I’d love to know from
him how this could happen. Unfortunately he’s been dead for 40
years. https://t.co/g3iK5zTZRd— Dr Adam Rutherford (@AdamRutherford) April 18, 2024
This made me laugh so hard I genuinely thought I was going to pass out. https://t.co/BQo1HEaeXb

Only one question remained.
What on earth happened there? How does that even come about?

Ok what I *think* happened was the editor premony at the libremony at the library.
