In an item in the May 10 " Slatest," Jessica Loudis incorrectly stated that, if confirmed, Kagan would become the youngest Supreme Court justice ever. Others have been younger when seated; she would merely be the youngest justice on the current court.

In a May 4 "DVD Extras," David Roth stated that the movie studio the Asylum cleared a $5 million profit in 2009. The company earns about $5 million in annual revenue. The article also originally contained a joke that was similar to one in a  Wired article  about the Asylum that was published in December 2009. The Slate article described $5 million as "roughly equal to Liam Neeson's hair-extension budget for Clash of the Titans but pretty impressive given the company's fringe position in the industry." The Wired article stated that $5 million "would barely cover Michael Bay's volumizer per diem but [is] enough to make Asylum a reliably healthy business."

In a Dec. 8, 2009 "Green Lantern," Nina Shen Rastogi erroneously stated that 11 million gallons of crude oil would fill about 125 Olympic swimming pools. It's closer to 17 pools' worth.
