A New York Times correction coming this weekend about an article from last December about a "vending machine for crows" in the Binghamton zoo says in part: "The Times has since learned that Klein was never at the Binghamton Zoo, and there were no crows on display there in June 2008. He performed these experiments with captive crows in a Brooklyn apartment; he told the reporter about the Brooklyn crows but implied that his work with them was preliminary to the work at the zoo...Corvid experts who have since been interviewed have said that Klein's machine is unlikely to work as intended." That's pretty bad.
