"Losing the Peace" typo...

[Tino]

the 007 movie Tomorrow Never Dies, which was allegedly called TOMORROW NEVER LIES (a pun over the newspaper "Tomorrow" featured in the film) until someone mistyped it on a fax...

Kidding? That's like google. It was meant to be goggle but someone misspelled it on the registration form.

"Captain Picard died during negotiations for that treaty" vs. "Captain Picard lied during negotiations for that treaty."

*lol*

My favorite was always in "The Sundered," when a certain lost starship is described as having a saucer connected to "a bulbous secondary hell."

*lolx2*

Are there more funny typos you know of?

that's a bit unlikely, since google was a play on the word "googol" which means 10^100, a very large number. the google headquarters is called googleplex, a play on the word googolplex which is 10^googol. and the website was originally registered as google.standford.com. wiki page

where did you hear it was originally suppose to be goggle?

^And "googol" was, in turn, probably a misspelling of "google" in the first place. The inventor of the number reputedly asked his son to name it, and the kid volunteered the name because a number 1 followed by a hundred 0's looked like googly eyes. (He may have been influenced by the then-popular cartoon character Barney Google and his popular theme song: "Barney Google, with the goo-goo-googly eyes.")
