We had a good one here at Lowell Observatory a couple of years ago.  The 
local paper wrote up a story about our "LONEOS" (Lowell Observatory Near 
Earth Object Survey) Telescope, only in the article it came out as the 
"LOONIES" Telescope.  This had lots of folks puzzled but I knew how it 
happened.  Just run "LONEOS" through your spell checker and see for 
yourself.  Aren't spell checkers grate?
