The Adwords one looks like autocomplete - someone hit m and completed to month rather than minute.

Well, the bank one is easy. It's just a simple typo. It should have said "no response from Brian". Apparently, he's on break.

HD Radio: Now with more than twice the hours of regular radio.

Yo dawg, I herd u liek writing Word documents, so we put a Word document in ur word document so u can word process while u word process
Admin
The first one is pretty typical of DAB radios. They just display whatever time is embedded into the DAB transport stream, so a fubar at the station will be reported verbatim. Best get used to this sort of thing.
Admin
Yo dawg...
Admin
Yaw dawg. I heard you like reading, so we put a Word document into your Word document, so you can read a document while you read a document.
Admin
You beat me to it.
"I put a word in your word so you can read documents while you read documents, word!"

A 315532800 second timeout? Pfft. I've seen bigger.

Clearly, the silver car in the Google picture has an ejector seat. Didn't anybody see Goldfinger?

Welcome to the Weekly WFT... (blah blah blah, yes I know it's free, but I feel like bitching about it anyway damnit)
Anyway, I once remember looking for a Shoe Company store in my location via streets view, and at one point it shows the Google-Car in a plaza driving up to and through a McD's drive-thru...
Admin
Where is Google directing you? It is just telling you to continue going along the one-way street in the wrong direction, that's all. The jumping in the air is just what you have to do to avoid the oncoming traffic.
Admin
Look, you just have a corrupted DeviceInstaller Installer installation. Uninstall the DeviceInstaller Installer and then rerun the DeviceInstaller InstallerInstaller.
Admin
Using Word as a document viewer is dumb anyway. You got what you deserve, Matt.
Admin
The route is 14 Marcella St. in Cambridge to 13 Joy Street in Somerville mass, walking directions. And either is it fake, or a very weird fluke, cause google doesn't show it now.
I call fake.
Admin
I'll save you some time and link to the live Google Maps Street View. It's been fixed since twtf.

re: Google maps near Washington st ..
I drove through that town once .. I think Google maps has it right ... have you ever seen how they drive in that town?
Captcha: ideo = past tense of idea? or an Indian Rodeo?

Yo dawg, I herd you like Word documents, so I put a Word document in your Word document so you can open Word while you open Word. Word.

Damn, I really want one of those pens.

Regarding the Test Pattern - Do Not Ship: I have a drawer full of dog tags that all say the same thing:
I FIXED THE DOG TAG MACHINE HA HA HA HA HA HA I ROCK
I used to work in the military personnel office on an Air Force base and one of my jobs was making dog tags. I used that test pattern because it hit the five points where the machine usually jammed. Since they didn't contain any personal info, I decided to keep the test plates as souvenirs of my time there.

Admin
What else can you tell me about your time in the military?
Admin
The real WTF is that the clock in the first picture was from the UK, where everyone knows that extra "leap hours" are added every 7th of Octodecember.
Admin
Google maps obviously wants you to smash into an oncoming car and make a double flip towards the bridge.
Admin
No, I think that the Brain and Pinkie are out trying to take over the world again.
Admin
This is his rifle, this is his gun. This one's for fighting, this one is for fixing the dog tag machine.
Admin
The Alarm clock is probably just in a timer or stopwatch type mode.
It's likely minutes and seconds.
Admin
Clearly, Andrew needs to walk out in the street where the transporter pads are and get Scotty on the communicator.
Admin
TRWTF is office's new interface.
Admin
Could it be that the radio broadcasted 18:21 and the receiver added another 12 hours attempting to convert am/pm to 24h? But then why would it display "PM"?
Admin
Obviously, someone shipped the radio when it was programmed with Test time only.
Admin
Since we're on word docs inside word docs here...
Yo dawg, I heard you need to install DeviceInstaller but you need to install DeviceInstaller before you install DeviceInstaller so that you can install DeviceInstaller after you install DeviceInstaller.
Admin
Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
I think so, Brain, but who would embed a Word document in a Word document?
It says PM.Admin
And as we all know, going down a one-way street the wrong way in Boston is not even vaguely a wtf. More like "business as usual".
Admin
Cosmo: It's simple, Skyler. You've seen what food processors do to food, right?
Admin
If you've ever driven through that area, as I do on a regular basis, you won't be surprised that Google got confused. I bet what happened is that the street view car only went south on Medford Street, which in that location is really a service road for the elevated McGrath Highway. Google is trying to use that as the northbound side as well, and runs into trouble because the actual northbound side is a hundred or so feet away on the other side of the highway.
Admin
I don't understand the superman bit with the Google map. It looks to me like you can go under that elevated road.
As for the pen, on occasion I've seen offers of bulk pens that are misprints etc. It would be perfectly reasonable for test pattern pens to end up in such an offering.

I have embedded your Word document in your Word document. Pray I don't embed anything further.
Admin
Yo, dawg, you heard I like praying you don't embed anything further, so you embedded a word document in my word document. Brillant!
Yeah, yeah, enough already.

Check for equality is slightly cheaper in number of transistors than check for ">=" and this optimisation is the reason of such errors.
In pseudocode:
Also comparisons for seconds/minutes/hours can be run simultaneously for the nice race condition.
Admin
Gee, I wonder what that line means?
Admin
Thank you for this. You have turned my crummy morning around.
