"The machine snapped a photo, and a few minutes later, a pair of
identical images emerged from a slot. Unfortunately, the camera had cut
off the top of roughly one-eighth of the Haggler’s head."

Funny story of a software design issue:  Failure to anticipate the
existence of bald people in automatic image framing.

Share and enjoy,
