Well some guy won $1M on 'Millionaire' by knowing Grace Hopper discovered a moth in the core of the malfunctioning ENIAC(?) causing computer glitches to become known as bugs. I heard Grace tell the story herself once at an IBM function. She was really something. She also used to go around passing out wire nanoseconds, pieces of wire the length of which electricity would travel in one nanosecond.
