SALT LAKE CITY, March 21 (UPI) -- The Utah legislature, by leaving out one word, inadvertently killed a bill that would have required cost studies of all climate change measures.

The measure passed by a veto-proof margin, The Salt Lake Tribune reported. It was proposed by legislators suspicious of climate change and applied to any measures adopted by the governor or federal government.

Gov. Jon Huntsman said Thursday the measure "died a technical death at the end of the session."

A Senate committee drafted the bill with the word "wholesale" in it in a section designed to pass on the cost of studies to states that buy electricity from Utah. Because of a staff error, that word was omitted from the version that passed the Senate.

State Rep. Roger Barrus, a Republican, said the bill will come up again in the next session.

Might as well have the family of the author who wrote Peter Pan sue Shigeru Miyamoto for Ocarina of Time.

It's called "System to block as many loopholes as humanely possible".

And it wasn't typo, it was a whole missing word.

Oh yeah, my Church History/Latin teacher told our class about that yesterday. It might've been the King James Bible; I'm not quite sure at the moment.

EDIT: Yep, it was the 1631 English King James Bible, otherwise known as "The Wicked Bible". (Yes, I looked it up).

Lets test how leaving out one word effects other statements:

I will (not) rape you.Crap, too lazy to think of ones that don't involve just a 180 reversal.
