We got an unusual rash of submissions at Error’d this
week. Here are five reasonably good ones chosen not exactly
at random. For those few (everyone) who didn’t catch the
off-by-one from last week’s batch, there’s the clue.
“Gotta CAPTCHA ‘Em All,” puns
Alex G.
“So do I select them all?” he wondered. I think the correct answer is null.
“What does a null eat?” wondered
B.J.H
, “and is one null invited or five?”. The first question is easily answered.
NaaN, of course. Probably garlic. I would expect B.J. to already know the eating habits
of a long-standing companion, so I am guessing that the whole family is not meant to tag along.
Stick with just the one.
Planespotter
Rick R.
caught this one at the airport.
“Watching my daughter’s flight from New York and got surprised by
Boeing’s new supersonic 737 having already arrived in DFW,” he observed.
I’m not quite sure what went wrong. It’s not
the most obvious time zone mistake I can imagine, but I’m pretty sure the cure is the
same: all times displayed in any context that is not purely restricted to a single
location (and short time frame) should explicitly include the relevant timezone.

figures
“From my day job’s MECM Software Center. It appears that autocorrect has miscalculated,
because the internet cannot be calculated.” The internet is -1.
Ending this week on a note of hope, global warrior
Stewart
may have just saved the planet.
“Climate change is solved. We just need to replicate the 19 March performance of my new solar panels.”
Or perhaps I miscalculated.
