Great moments in software engineering
Newfoundland, ca. 1000 CE: A bug in the Google Maps route-planning algorithm at high latitudes causes Leif Eriksson and his crew to miss Greenland entirely. They instead become the first Europeans to reach North America. They name the place "Vimland" in honor of a text editor sacred to Odin. Emacs-using natives soon attack the Vikings on several Usenet groups.
Every Easter, my mom would hide my Easter basket and I’d run around the house looking for it.
It was usually somewhere pretty obvious like in the corner of a room or on a shelf, but I didn’t want my mom to know she was bad at hiding things, so I’d walk past it about twenty times to make her think it was a challenge.
I genuinely thought I was doing a nice thing, but now I think back on my poor mom watching her child walk past a gigantic Easter basket. Each time becoming more and more concerned that she had raised a complete idiot.
