I have heard Grace Hopper tell this story several times of a moth getting 
into a machine.  As I recall, she was one of the people who found the moth 
and put it in the log book.  The machine was one of the the early 
computers at the Aiken Computation Lab at Harvard, either the Mark I or 
the Mark IV, I think.
