Possibly my favorite scanno ever

Not from a text scanned by me, but from a book I downloaded from archive.org, titled _Survivals of Roman Religion_:
a chapter titled "The Egyptian Dieties: Isis, Serapis, and Harpo."

Reread and then reread again. Yes, that is what the text says.

Wander down the page a few lines and find the word "crates."

Still...

Honk if you love Harpo!

Misheard word of the day

What I heard: "Caroling iron"
Is this some sort of blunt object carried by carollers in order to enforce payment of the figgy pudding? Sadly, no.

What the word actually was: a scanno of "Carolingian"

Carolling Carolingians carrying carolling irons? Could this be a new tradition?
