For a while today, Twitter would let you force anyone to follow you. It was a hilariously simple trick and equally bizarre. Even better? This bug was discovered by accident, by a Turkish Twitter user. Here’s what happened.
The life of 20-year-old Emine, and her 24-year-old husband Ramazan Çalçoban was pretty much the normal life of any couple in a separation process. After deciding to split up, the two kept having bitter arguments over the mobile phone, sending text messages to each other until one day Ramazan wrote “you change the topic every time you run out of arguments.” That day, the lack of a single dot over a letter—product of a faulty localisation of the phone’s typing system—caused a chain of events that ended in a violent blood bath (Warning: offensive language ahead.)

We’re mega geeks, so if we had our choice, we’d only eat freeze-dried “astronaut” foods that come in tiny, metallic packs. We’d rest easy knowing how simply we could get up and go when the aliens finally came, taking us to their planet where we are revered as gods for our unshowered musk and supple stomachs. But we draw the line somewhere, and that “where” is a frozen, turkey-in-a-bag product like the Jennie-O Freezer-to-Oven Turkey. But forgiving our snobbery for a moment, how does it taste, really?
If you live in Turkey not only do you have the best kebabs in the World, but you also have the finest geek boutique to have graced our watery planet. Even though the owner of the store has the intricate Google logo down to the correct spelling and colour, we are still confident in calling this a hoax. Please do not ask us to justify ourselves, on this one trust us – we have a strange feeling in our tummies.
