The Whole Grail Typo

No, the title is not a typo.

CNN's travel article "They all say they’ve got the Holy Grail. So who’s right?" (www.cnn.com/holy-grail-leon-spain-valencia-genoa/index.html) contains a typo (or not).  The article lists at least 4 sites which claim to have the Holy Grail.  With the multiple locations in mind, here's the typo: 

"You might even be able to feel the mystical power of the Grail if you visit one of the many places it is said to be hiding, just out of SITE."

The last word would normally be "sight" not "site" unless the author was making a sly comment.  I tried to post a comment, but to do so I'd have to subscribe to CNN.  No thank you.

It wanted to send a message to the author, but, as is so typical, there was no easy way.  To contact her I'd need to join another site as a journalist.  So bag that baloney.  


By the end of the article the prototype of a multiple choice quiz with images materialized: From the following select the image which most closely represents your concept of the Holy Grail. One of the images was a sippy cup.
