Broken: Metal misspelling

Before you stamp out a metal drain cover in inch-thick metal, check the spelling.

Yep, it's a "drian" cover.

That's actually supposed to say that it's where Brian lives, but they forgot the center stroke on the B.

This is out of context - it's actually the entrance to the subteranean office of world renowned urologist, Dr. Ian (the "." is just kind of hard to make out in the photo...).

Wow, you'd think that you could see that mistake as soon as its pressed.

I agree with the Dr. Ian idea.

To me, it just looks like it's a brand name type thing. It took me a bit to figure out what was supposed to be wrong with it.
