Great moments in software engineering
Newfoundland, ca. 1000 CE: A bug in the Google Maps route-planning algorithm at high latitudes causes Leif Eriksson and his crew to miss Greenland entirely. They instead become the first Europeans to reach North America. They name the place "Vimland" in honor of a text editor sacred to Odin. Emacs-using natives soon attack the Vikings on several Usenet groups.
