Just came accross a very subtle mistake in Trivial Pursuit.

Q. What river flows over the Holland Tunnel?
(Never mind the bad grammar.)

Their A. : The Hudson River.

Correct Answer: The North River.

Explanation: Officially, the Hudson ends at about
Spuyten Duyvil (north tip of Manhattan Island, the
the remaining estuaries are named the East River
and the North River respectively.

Trivial Pursuit- wrong again-
Vodka, Galliano, and O.J. make a Harvey Wallbanger, not a Tequila Sunrise!
This mistake is under the Sports & Leisure section.  I want my $45 back!!!

...
One Genus edition Entertainment question asks who recorded
   *Captain Fantastic*  and  *The Brown Dirt Cowboy*

The album name should have been written as
   *Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy*

(*'s surround italicized text)

Oh, and here's another one of the overly vague questions (I don't remember
the exact wording):  What causes all deaths?
