Answers to this month's CRU question.

In 1947 Grace Murray Hopkins was working at Harvard University on a primitive computer. Upon further examination, she found that a moth had become trapped between the points on the computer. The moth was removed and affixed to the log with an entry, "first actual case of a bug being found". A note went out that the computer had been "debugged" and the term is now used routinely. The log can be found today in the Smithsonian Institute.
