Today we have a whole batch of category errors, picked out from the rash of submissions and a
few that have been festering on the shelf. Just for fun,
I threw in an ironic off-by-some meta-error. See if you can spot it.

“I’m looking for hotel rooms for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina. Most hotels haven’t opened up reservations yet, except for ridiculously overprice hospitality packages. This search query found NaN facilities available, which equates to one very expensive apartment. I guess one is not a number now?”

had a tough time at the Intercontinental. I almost feel sympathy. Almost.
“I stare at nulls at home all the time so it made me feel comfortable to see them at the hotel when traveling. And what is that ‘INTERCONTINENTAL W…’ at the top? I may never know!”
Hoping to find out, BJ clicked through the mystery menu and discovered… this. But even worse,
“There was no exit: Clicking Exit did nothing and neither did any of the buttons on the remote. Since I’d received more entertainment than usual from a hotel screen I just turned everything off.”

Whatever did they do before null null undefined null?
“Hey, want to watch TV tonight? NaN.”
Hah! “That’s MISTER Null, to you,” declared an anonymous contributor.
And finally, another entirely different anonymous contributor clarified that there are apparently NaN cellphone towers in Switzerland. Personally, I’m intrigued by the existence of that one little crumb of English on an otherwise entirely German page.
