The late computer pioneer Grace Murray Hopper once explained: when she and some colleagues were having trouble with one of the first modern computers in 1945, they discovered that the cause was a moth in the electrical circuitry. "From then on," she said, "when anything went wrong with a computer, we said it had bugs in it." The moth has been preserved in Grace's log book. Toady's teaser for today  /
