There are no such things as bugs, only undocumented features

I found a very cool list of epic debugging stories [1] (link via Hacker News [2]). These stories are way more epic than my most epic bug [3], like the random memory corruption caused by a bad timing signal [4] or the inability of email to be delivered past 500 miles [5] (my personal favorite story).
