Somewhat disputed, but todays seems to be the most appropriate day to celebrate (?), as the 9th of September death of a moth inside a computer gave birth (or at least established) the word "bug" for a unexpected computer error.
Perhaps it was 60 years ago to day (or 58?), perhaps it was at least the birth of the term "de-bugged".... see the actual poor creature at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:H96566k.jpg and read more at Wikipedia at and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_bug .
Anyway, why not go ahead and make a cake in the shape of a moth today.
Friday cheers,
Jonas
