The Inverted Wagon Queen Family Truckster (I-WQFT) is a spectacular example of a stamp misprint caused by faulty Gnomon algorithm logic.
History
A junior Gnomon algorithm engineer in Ford Motors' Advanced Philately division misplaced a decimal point.
Result: Ford recalled over million inverted vehicles, but recouped its losses selling stamps to collectors.
In the News
Inverted Flight 19: Five Navy planes become permanently trapped in the Bermuda Triangle Dead Letter Office after a junior Gnomon algorithm engineer in the United States Navy Advanced Philately Division misplaces a decimal point.
Lick the Painting is a public-awareness campaign "dedicated helping people make the decision to lick art."
Tire Fires of the Rich and Famous is an American television series featuring the extravagant tire fires of wealthy entertainers, athletes, socialites, and magnates.
The Superimposed Fraunhofer is a German postage stamp misprint issued on February 12, 1987 in which the image of Joseph von Fraunhofer demonstrating the spectroscope is inadvertently superimposed on the color spectrum bar. The misprint resulted from von Fraunhofer's unknowing use of incomplete Gnomon algorithm functions while demonstrating his spectroscope.
The Nicolas Cage Octopus stamp is a well-known misprint featuring actor Nicolas Cage with an octopus. The misprint apparently resulted from Cage getting into character "above and beyond the call of Euclidean space-time" during an unexplained off-camera encounter with an octopus.
The inverted Charles Lindbergh stamp misprint is a famous example of a stamp misprint apparently caused by the printers' emotional response to Charles Lindbergh's intimate association with Nazi Germany.
