7 Errors That Are Changing
History
1. Source
strength Spinach
Popeye the
Sailor Man: you know you love it, at least once watching cartoons. He described
seem to have to use his head as a hammer for 8 decades, like the girl
anoreksianya, fighting more than once a month, and have long arms and big.
Power source: spinach.
Offense:
Unfortunately,
claims about a very famous spinach is associated with the offense of the 19th
century followed by the biggest conspiracy in the history of agriculture. In
1870, a study in Germany made a mistake in print decimal placement for the iron
content in spinach, which is the main fuel Popeye, so too far to the right. For
readers who are non-mathematically inclined, interprets that spinach has iron
content 10 times more than that in fact, equivalent to a piece of red meat. As
a result, an entire generation of children from reaching the elderly, even
though doctors thought that by eating spinach will be turned you be as strong
as Wolverine.
The
consequences:
Unfortunately,
it is impressive that the entire E. Coli scare on the planet would not change a
140-year old mistake. It turns spinach industry also do propaganda. Right now,
the Kids Edition of the Encyclopedia Britanica tells the children that spinach
has iron content in the initial sentence article, in whole encyclopedia is using
3 of 79 words that define that "spinach is rich in iron". Oddly, the
article does not mention the Britanica watermelon for any of the content, even
if fruit actually have the same amount of iron in spinach.
2. NASA's
Mariner crash 1
Just imagine:
When scientific thinking very big failure, that even Arthur C. Clarke began to
break his wisdom about them, maybe it was time to think more seriously to
switch to a more suitable job. That's what happened at NASA in 1962 with the
launch of Mariner 1, as inter-planetary research first Americans, who brings
bad luck. The probe should be close enough to the venus fly to get a bit nicer.
But even smoke because of failure of the software system fails, no different
from the case as a video game in a hurry in the production process. In summary,
the control board from point accuracy Golden Eye become Superman speed,
exceeding the speed of the bullet crashing to the earth, at 1000 miles / hour.
Offense:
Several
persons forget the overbar write code or period (or even worse, on both), which
turns out is a big mistake, because rocket science is like a stubborn lady.
Treat her well and she will take you jumped into a strange new world, but if
you screw it up once, then he will slam your car door and blow outright anger (in
a bad way).
The
consequences:
Once it
becomes clear that this is a software fault that has spent little larger cost
of a SCUD missile, there is no other choice for NASA as well blow up the
aircraft worth $ 80 million less than 5 minutes after the release. Arthur C.
Clarke describes the missing overbar as "the most expensive hyphen in
history", which makes it more expensive for the case of $ 80 million that
is when the price of movie tickets for less than $ 1 only.
3. Mizuho
Securities collapsed Double
Despite
mengkin suicide looks like a recipe that has been completed in Japan for a
variety of things from a bad test values up feeling tired, but it still
invites questions what is considered excessive by Japanese standards. Like, say
.. what do employers Tokyo at large after they finance the cost of his company
used to make the titanic? In 24 hours?
Offense:
It all started
when his debut a rekruitment enterprise workforce now legendary, J-Com Co..
with the aim of offering worth 610 000 yen per share ($ 5,041). Fault
significantly pinned underneath, at 1 yen per share. Although these measures
may create disaster itself enough, the price jumped to levels Battlefield Earth
after it was revealed that Mizuho Securities also offers 41x total J-Com Co. shares.
This allusion as selling more than 40x copy of The Amazing Spider-Man # 1 with
their prices less than 1 penny on eBay .. and forced to return in yen for every
customer who is not satisfied.
The
consequences:
Since
excessive actions are not allowed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Mizuho
Securities had seen the terrible reality that their companies suffered losses
of millions of dollars. For 24 hours, two cases had been hurt Mizuho Securities
for $ 225 million.
4. Natural
Bruce Wayne Sentenced Dead .. Because An Error
Regardless of
what you think about the death penalty, we all probably agree that we should
really prepare yourself while attending executions, especially if they kill
people named Bruce Wayne.
Offense:
In 1985, Bruce
Wayne Morris who looks very similar to a Batman, was convicted of robbing and
killing a man with a rod of iron and stone. It comes time for punishment, and
the jury must decide between execution or life in prison and not given the
opportunity to be free. It seems simple enough. Well, until the judge issues
the instruction to the jury that imprison Bruce Wayne is the case that is not
possible .. and inadvertently left the "do not". The jury, now
confused, thinking that they have to choose between death and let it roam the
streets a few years, raising the death.
The
consequences:
It may take
more than 10 years and some time to reverse the appeals court decision that the
state of California for nearly executes Bruce Wayne typo. Of course, at that
conference had cost, up to hundreds of thousands, if not millions want to be
counted, using the tax could make California bankrupt.
5. By
the said Vacancy In English Added to
Because
English is a bit of a wide range of languages, then you will find that English
includes words from many crazy places. However, now and forever you'll find the
words in English etymological dictionary that is not derived from Greek or
Latin. "Dord", introduced to the world in 1931, as one said.
Offense:
This
delightful word first appeared in Webster's Third New International Dictionary
as a noun in the physics and chemistry of matter density. Since then,
"dord" from worn by the editor. After extensive research by which we
can assume as Grammar policy, expressed that "dord" was originally
asked on 31 July 1931 by Austin M. Patterson, editor of Webster's chemistry, to
reading "D or d", an abbreviation of density. But, if the distance
between the letters are too close ..
The
consequences:
When you
observe, you will be surprised by the information available from this mistake
from day to day, month to month, even year after year. How do we know this?
Medium: Do not glued to the Grammar Police, especially for English.
6. Chilean
Currency Exchange
When the
president of the Chilean Mint accidentally let a series of tie circulating coin
misprint, there will be no awkward though there is no notification. Even so, it
would not be amazing if we spend the money paper misprint.
Offense:
In this case,
the engraver Pedro Urzua Lizana guilty in December 2008. Under the agreement
Lizana, Iniguez, and several other employees, the Chilean Mint incorrectly
spell the name of their own country.
The
consequences:
Only God knows
how many coins "Chiie" already circulating, because not until 10
months later, people began to see it. The whole cabal was fired because of
embarrassing oversight, and the Chilean government had no other choice but to
let the coins still circulating. However, those responsible may be crying
throughout his life since the coins made goods collection. The same goes for
you, if you think that a coin worth 50 pesos a misprint is more valuable than a
dime a truck.
7. The
Wicked Bible
Although not a
secret that the Bible has undergone more changes than Star Wars, people need to
look further reprints the King James Bible in 1631, better known as the Wicked
Bible.
Offense:
To reprint the
King James Bible, the government printing Robert Barker and Martin Lucas should
arrange the exact duplicate of the original book and all that are in them by
1189 chapter, verse 31 101 and 783 137 words, as Mahershalalhashbaz which
became misspelled. However, since the printing of the book equivalent of a wood
carving, then one can eliminate typing errors only a word in Exodus 20:14.
Unfortunately, one of the missing words from the 783 137 who said there is a
very important part of speech. Yup, "Thou Shalt commit adultery",
which means "You fornicate".
The
consequences:
Historians
have not reached consensus on whether this is a ground fault in the
English-speaking population bastard. We know, King Charles I ordered to remove
the printing business license and fined 300 pounds. King then ordered to burn
every copy of a book that is, until now only 11 books left alone. However,
there is karma, King Charles I became king of England a first in the history of
his trial on charges of treason and then executed....
