They included the Apple Newton?! It will never be a failure in my heart. (Take your egg freckles and eat up martha, and stuff it.)

I used to make a habit of bringing a pair of tin snips to the family Christmas…Because they are just the thing for opening clamshell packaging.

Is it only about commercial failures? Because if not, I still have a ten francs coin minted in 1986, an innovative design that had the unfortunate property of being very similar to the 50 centimes (0.5 francs) coin. The coins were withdrawn a few weeks after being issued.

They’ve gone through 150 applications for docents but every one was fired almost immediately.

I actually thought the recognition on the Newton was pretty good, especially given my chicken scratch handwriting.
Well, that makes sense. The Swedes are experts in failure.

I mean, that last one is oddly specific.
Do they have enough real estate to build the “Space Shuttle Replacements Wing” and the “Middle East Peace Plans Wing”??
