TIL the word "bug" comes from an actual moth taped into a logbook

Found out a programmer in 1947 taped a real moth into the Harvard Mark II logbook with a note about it being the first actual case of a bug being found. Ngl it made me weirdly happy that one of our most used terms started as a joke, anyone else have a favorite origin story like that?
