<foobar> the FUNNIEST tech glitch ive ever heard of happened
at my workplace
<foobar> ok.. so we run an internet storage service right? 
and one of our clients is a large photo site that allows
people to upload pics and view them online
<foobar> well.. our software had a little bug in it ..
sometimes if a file is uploaded and not cached properly by the
system, the system will deliver the same file for hundreds or
thousands of different files
<foobar> so what happened is someone uploaded some bestiality
pictures, and those got caught in the cache, so everbody
uploading their 4th of july pics got them ALL replaced by the
same picture of a girl jerking off a horse
<foobar> 50,000 times
