New There were many similar anecdotes
going around at Smalltalk Solutions from the developers of JWARS (military simulation package written in VisualAge Smalltalk).

Things like birds refusing to take off until given clearance because the flying code was reused from the airplanes, soldiers being creamed because their vision was 180 degrees misaligned and so forth.
