I suspect the delivery-millisecond-issue is because some service returns the estimated delivery time in seconds, and then they add it to the time stamp of the order, which will thus not modify the milliseconds.

PS you can turn off the dictionary that contains Apple product names. And you can turn on e.g. a Spanish-English dictionary or a thesaurus. It's pretty neat.

Figuring out the sign-up form is asking for your birthdate is part of the test. You failed.
Edit Admin
Must be scraping the bottom of the barrel here for submissions this week, these are not very good WTFs TBH.
Edit Admin
I assume the Brain failure is because the date requested is the user's birthday, despite not being labelled as such.

That doesn't explain why "pill" results in what is essentially an ad for an Apple product.

Woot! Thanks for posting my submission! (I believe they've since fixed it, but it was ongoing for months even after reporting it.)
Edit Admin
I thought the error was the XML

Another option for the millisecond timestamps would be they initialize a XMLGregorianCalendar with current time (instead of all fields undefined) and then fill it from a datatype that does not include milliseconds - leaving the milliseconds as they were.

The reason the Apple Beats speaker shows up is because a long time ago, Beats had a speaker called "The Pill". Because it was just a red pill. I suspect if you looked at the definition it would show that.

Took me a while to find the 'coppa' on the address bar. I mean it's obvious when you see that it was asking for your birth date, not the current date. But really, that's a badly phrased question.
Also of course if it can't be trusted to keep your stuff private when you're under 18, why should you trust it with any information if you're over 18?
