Bonus
During the years, I've seen bloopers not only on personal websites, but also in "real life": in ads, newspapers, user manuals, books, ... Here is a small collection as a bonus to the blooper section. Click on the images to display the full extract.
If you understand a little bit of French, maybe you will also enjoy some of the entries on the corresponding French page.
1 - Milk bath
As a regular customer of Le Shop, I've witnessed several strange things while shopping on their website. One of them was a milk brick with a capacity of 37653 liters! I felt pity for the poor delivery man, and did not order any!
2 - Switzerland as seen by Google Earth
Maybe only the Swiss will notice that Google Earth made 3 errors with cities and state names among the 30 names displayed on the selected map.
3 - Dubious sponsor
Google should be ashamed! While I was searching for a romantic hotel in Switzerland, he dared suggest me to visit these "hot teens"!
4 - Fast file copy
Even my powerful computer systems are not always fast enough for Windows. Once it reported crazy numbers for the duration of a simple file copy operation. In the case shown here, I would have had to wait for more than 7 years until the copy had completed!
5 - Calender gone nuts
Many years ago, while at work, Outlook - here in German - began to go completely nuts. The program still worked, but the calendar displayed subtle and weird date changes. It happened only once, and nobody could find a reason for that behaviour. Fortunately I made a screen capture and kept a souvenir.
6 - Waterfront
While reading articles about global warming, I stumbled on a very unfortunate collision: next to this column that warns of hurricanes and rising seas was an advertisement for houses at at waterfront!
7 - Because ? Because!
Adobe's programmers must have felt very lazy when they programmed this error message of their Acrobat Reader, which is not very explicit.
8 - Exceptional rebate
Call now! This hotel will cost you only 212 Swiss francs, instead of the normal price of... 212 francs. But if you arrive at Saturday, you will be awarded the special price for friends of 212 francs. Of course, the best for you would be to book a room for a Sunday, then you would be charged 212 francs only!
