Robotic relief - an apology

On September 11, we published a story suggesting that Indian scientists had invented a robot with the ability to improve couple's sex lives.

This was based on a report in an Indian newspaper. However, we have since learnt that the story was not true and it has been removed from our site.

We would like to apologise to Honda, the company responsible for the ASIMO robot.

An article we published about life aboard the International Space Station reported that its commander said "it sucks".

We've been asked to point out that Commander Bill Shepherd apparently made the remark regarding only one particular procedure aboard the space station.

The particular procedure not having been named, the mind boggles.

Rasta Pasta was never on the menu
A story published on August 31 stated a Wakefield headteacher had been criticised for introducing a dish called Rasta Pasta to school menus during a project on race.

Not Ananova but in the same spirit

Correction appended (2:37 P.M. PST/9/17): A previous version of this story incorrectly quoted Dropbox cofounder Drew Houston saying “anybody with nipples” instead of “anybody with a pulse.”
