Today I learned that the computer term "bug" was popularized in the 1940s when a short circuit in an early computer was caused by a moth getting stuck inside the hardware. There was a literal bug in the system. Also, to this day, the moth's corpse is on display at the Smithsonian Museum of American History.
What did you learn today?
