NYT reports Mario and Luigi are 'janitors,' issues correction of the day

Who says the Fishwrap of Record isn’t accountable for its errors?

Are Mario and Luigi janitors … or plumbers? The New York Times is on it in this obituary correction.

The brothers Mario and Luigi, who appear in this and other Nintendo games, are plumbers, not janitors.
