We all know that Grace Hopper invented the current use of the
word "bug" when a dead moth was discovered in a relay of the
Harvard Mark I.

It's really too bad someone had to stumble on a newspaper
clipping from 1878 where the reporter mentioned that Edison
was still getting the "bugs" out of the phonograph.
