Just learned that the first 'bug' in code was literally an actual moth stuck in a relay back in 1947
Saw it on a random history of computing site while looking up something else - Grace Hopper's team pulled it out and taped it in the logbook. Has anyone else stumbled onto old computer history stuff that blew their mind?

Was that actually a real moth stuck in the circuits?

Did your friend ever have that issue where a little bug got into their computer fan and made that awful clicking noise? Mine had a cricket stuck in the AC unit once, drove them crazy for days until they found it.
