That's some mighty tasty pain!

In another Boing Boing post, this one about a cool off-road recumbent bicycle, we see again how a simple typo can change a sentence. Here, the author quotes an employee at Beserker Cycle Design, who says:

It was designed by our CEO Adam Stephens after a nasty meeting between his carbon fiber Kestrel and a 12-food drop left him with some back injuries.

Aside from the fact that this injury has nothing to do with food, the Boing Boing crew gives no source for their quote! I couldn't find anywhere to look up if this was a mistake on the part of Boing Boing or the BCD employee. How's that for journalism?
