No, that headline and photo aren't an error. It was, however, when they appeared on the NBC News website.

Alright, we'll give CTV anchorman Andrew Johnson a pass for not knowing what "canoodle" means. Maybe we didn't know what it meant either until gossip magazines co-opted it as their polite way of saying "doing it."

The unusual "derecho" storm which devastated the Mid-Atlantic region late Friday has left millions without power. But if you happened to be watching Richmond, Virginia weatherman Aaron Justus last Sunday, you would've had a pretty good idea that things were about to get weird. In his report, Justus somehow works in volcanoes and Godzilla. Check it out below.

Between 1994 and 2004 'Friends' was one of the most popular shows on television. But while the antics of the six New York-based buddies were cracking up millions, some of the show's funniest moments were originally left on the cutting room floor. Check out this supercut culled from the end-of-the-season gag reels the seminal sitcom featured.

Sometimes, even the most diligent news network can make a mistake. But when two networks botch a report only minutes apart? Well, that qualifies as news itself.
