The following errata sheet was included with material shipped by the
Particle Data Group, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory:

The "centimeters" on the ruler on p. 227 of the Booklet are 0.97 long,
because:

	a) The booklet was returned from the printer at 0.25 times the
           speed of light;
	b) A theorist is in charge of the Particle Data Group;
	c) The PDG feels it has the right to redefine anything it wants;
	d) There is a general decline of standards;
	e) There was an international conspiracy;
	f) It was a congressionally-mandated cost-saving measure;
	g) PDG gives you more cm/inch than anyone else.
