During our recent discussion, we talked about the last phase of programming-- TRANSLATE, TEST AND DEBUG or COMPILE, TEST AND DEBUG. Debug also means removing errors and sir mentioned about the word debug came from a situation where in they have to remove a real bug from the computer. I've read this article before and I actually believed it because my computer teacher in high school also mentioned this to us. Now, I'm wondering if he was messing with us or was it really true. 

Debugging's history... They found a moth inside the huge computers (computers were huge back then).

Re-read the article again... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debugging#Origin :)
