I also sent them an e mail regarding the screw up, but they haven't changed it. It'll probably be a year until they get to my e mail, although there was a special e mail section for images/captions, so they must make a lot of mistakes.

No they didn't send anything to me.

LOL. That would be funny, but I think they get like thousands of e mails so i'm sure they won't respond. Could probably still screw with them though.
