OOPS!: From today's Culpeper, VA
Star-Exponent (the item isn't online): "You'll notice today's paper is significantly larger than a usual Friday because yesterday's paper was proportionately smaller. Inside you will find Thursday's C and D sections, along with your Friday fare. These two sections were inadvertently left out of every paper yesterday. Yes, it's hard to believe.

C. Kirk Read, Publisher."
