Bugged

So the common practice of calling computer problems "bugs" originated with a misidentification of taxonomy by a guy who should have known better.

The image (available online) of the moth taped to the page of the report is pretty funny, but the use of bug to describe a problem was  common among engineering types prior to the development of computers.  This is one more thing that we can credit to Thomas Edison, who wrote to a colleague stating "It has been just so in all of my inventions. The first step is an intuition, and comes with a burst, then difficulties arise—this thing gives out and [it is] then that "Bugs"—as such little faults and difficulties are called—show themselves and months of intense watching, study and labor are requisite before commercial success or failure is certainly reached."

That guy on Admiral Hopper's staff may not have known his taxonomy but he knew how to make a joke.

The plural of gluteus maximus is glutei maximi, but that's in the nominative case.  In the genitive case, the plural would be gluteorum maximorum, but I'm not an expert; that's the best I can come up with based on a rusty memory and recently read citations from Wikipedia.

Speaking of which, Uncle Ken keeps referring to "wiki," which is incorrect usage.  A wiki is a web page that can be modified directly from the browser, and Wikipedia is only one of many.  You know where to look for more details.
