A bit unrelated, but another fun one, "We can't send mail more than 500 miles": https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles

  I love the 500 mile email bug! I read another one years ago about a server that would inexplicably crash, and it turned out to be due to stepping on a particular floor tile in the server room. I wish I could find that one.

    That story disappoints me a bit in that they never found the cause.
