> Pioneer-era apple types thought extinct found in US West
Oh God, how I totally and bizarrely misunderstood that headline:
Pioneer = space probe
Apple = computer
types = tapes
US West = baby bell telephone company
- mehrdadn 7y agoFunny, I first started to misread it similarly to you, then realized I misunderstood and re-read it and understood it correctly, then I re-read your comment and thought my original misreading was actually the correct one, then I looked at the article and saw I'd re-read it correctly after all.
- thecupisblue 7y agoI thought this was a column on how new hip founders like Steve and Wozniak exist on the west coast and its going to take over the east coast soon, "new silicon valley" etc. Then I reread and just had to click. Wonderful how one sentence can be seen in wildly different perspectives.
