A $40 Trillion Library Bill
from the oops dept
Found over at GeekPress is the story of a guy who received a library bill for $40 trillion. Yes, trillion. He joked that he must have accidentally dog-eared one of the books (I guess libraries these days take that seriously). He called up the library and offered to "run right over" with the cash. Of course it was a nice little computer glitch that caused the problem.

Not a Computer Glitch
That's not a computer glitch. Some clerk entered a book's ISBN in the Amount Due field. Human error.
