Error'd: Not Really an Error'd Error'd

Scraping the bottom of the barrel this week, we accepted a couple of submissions that aren't, by any means, Errors. But they're undoubtedly amusing to the likes of thosewho haunt these pages, and as such, bon appetit.

Diner Dave A. wondered "I wasn't sure if you would really accept this as an Error'd,because it only *looks* like an error, which is why itcaught my eye, but it isn't! So, on with the snark:You'd think there'd be Null chance that someone wouldname a restaurant like this, right? But NO! (Or as YAMLwould say, Norway!) This really exists -- I haven't beenthere yet but at the very least its website isn't Null. Maybe two Nulls are like a double negative, making it positively exist?"It doesn't look very filling.

Gaijin Francois P. figures "Validating phone numbers is hard. Fortunately, naming thefield 'User contact information' instead bypasses the problementirely. Now I can easily enter my 12-single-byte-lettersphone number with ease."

Ancient Steve W. advises "I'm not THAT old. But at least I made the front cover - how cool is that?"

Wrangler Adam R. webster'd up a curiosity."I was looking for definitions of 'wrassle'. Not only wasthat not in the dictionary, the site feltcompelled to inform me that neither was 'ntshingwayo' "

And finally, deep thinking Tim R. gave Americans some thoughtfoodfor the long weekend."It's not really an error as such, but it's surely a WTF.If you're fortunate enough to have a Microsoft accountyou've probably seen this dialog a million times beforebut have you ever stopped to think about what it means?The default action is agree Yes to 'Stay signed in?',but No to 'Don't show this again', so should it keepasking you every time you don't sign in?"
