A convincing clone of the popular social news aggregation and discussion site Reddit has been spotted on the reddit.co domain. The author is obviously counting on users not to spot it for what it is: a site meant to harvest users' username and password.
That "m" in ".com" is as important as the second "l" in "Alzheimer's Clock".

Hmmm, was that really necessary? Not really even funny. Ever had Alzheimer's? Nah, I didn't think so.

Seldom respond to myself. My comment wasn't funny either. Both are sad. I'd rather poor taste be left somewhere else. Poor judgement is always welcome here!

It's a reference to a story we ran in 2014 [google.com], which has since had its headline corrected.

That's quite a correction. From Alzheimer's Clock to the Google search page. :)
I imagine that was an oops. If you have a moment, would you post the actual link, Takyon?
Thanks!

It's my favorite SN typo to date, though I'm sure cmn32480 can come up with a better one eventually.
