Love is not
something you see.

So much that I
made you my wife.

Word Histories
Bug
According to
the story, back in the days when computers were vast room-filling machines
containing hundreds of moving parts, one of the earliest recorded malfunctions
was caused by an insect making its home on one of the delicate mechanisms
inside—and hence, all computer malfunctions since have been known as bugs.
This well-known
tale apparently has its roots in an incident recorded in London’s Pall Mall
Gazette in 1889, which described how Thomas Edison spent two consecutive nights
trying to identify "a bug in his phonograph"—"an
expression," the article explained, "for solving a difficulty, and
implying that some imaginary insect has secreted itself inside and is causing
all the trouble." All in all, it appears the original computer bug was
sadly a metaphorical one.
