Editor Jim found this gem of a misspelling in [semi]-precious metal, and he writes:
This is a photo of an item for sale at a cart in the Gallery. I walk by it every day, and every day it vexes and amuses me, so I finally had to take a picture of it. It's marginally possible that it's actually meant to be a piece of jewelry that will mark you out as the kind of person likely to do some serious groping on a first date, but I think it's far more likely that someone just can't spell the name "Peter" correctly.
We couldn't've said it better ourselves!
