Zoo or Zew

Not much of a post today. I've been busy with school stuff, lesson plans and such. We will be going on a field trip to the Cameron Park Zoo next week. So I was assigned the task of doing the lesson plans for handwriting. We decided that our writing for the week should center on doing research and writing about the zoo animals. FUN!

In the process of doing research I ran across something interesting. I was checking out the Cameron Park Zoo website. Looking at the General Information page I was reading about The Weather Factor. It was describing which animals may not be on display under various weather circumstances. As I read through this I came to a highly unusual weather phenomenon. Are you ready for this---"Lightening". That's it. "Lightening". Could it be that this is the phenomenon that causes the animals to suddenly become lighter and float away???

NO! They just misspelled the word "Lightning". Here's the link, check it out. This misspelling was current as of the date of this post. They may change it later; like after I e-mail them about it. And just think, the Cameron Park Zoo paid a company good money to misspell the word. I suppose they don't have a dictionary, or at least a book about weather.

UPDATED 6 July 2011: I checked the above link at the zoo and it now leads to a page that is no longer there.
