This brings me back to the days of learning about The original cling of the term "bug" in relation to software bugs.

Taken from Wikipedia:


In 1946, when Hopper was released from active duty, she joined the Harvard Faculty at the Computation Laboratory where she continued her work on the Mark II and Mark III. Operators traced an error in the Mark II to a moth trapped in a relay, coining the term bug. This bug was carefully removed and taped to the log book. Stemming from the first bug, today we call errors or glitch's [sic] in a program a bug.


The log book is still on display to date in the Smithsonian, complete with Moth taped to the page of the log book.
