Newspaper typing error
The following is supposedly a true story. To be included, besides being true, the story is most likely strange, weird, surprising, or funny.The following appeared on the back page of one of Australia's more outrageous computer publications, "Computing Australia", 21st Sept 1987: ... Blame it on the computer.An unfriendly computer has been held responsible for a "potentially lethal error" involving a Mafia loan collector.A New York paper inadvertently put the `heavy' in the running for a pair of custom-fitted concrete shoes when it identified him as a "ruthless informer".According to a published retraction (and apology!), a writer on the paper had actually typed "ruthless enforcer" - but the computer system's spelling checker liked it the other way.And I thought the worst you could expect from a "computer error" was a bill for a million dollars!
