Reading this BBC News story on how apparently, a voting error gave the 2012 Olympic games to London instead of ending up as an initial tie to be followed up by a direct head-to-head runoff [which the article alleges Madrid would've won] reminded me of something from not too long ago.
Allegedly, the girl who was my first kiss back in middle school was mistakenly admitted to a nice school in D.C. A bunch of people were surprised that she got in, she wasn't the brightest of the bunch. And then came out the story that they had mistakenly admitted her because of one reason or another, perhaps lots of people with her last name, or lots of people from our zip code applying and getting in... But that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this story and I chuckled.
