Great mistakes make great reading! No area of human endeavor is immune to human error, as these stories of mistakes throughout history clearly show.
Some of these mistakes are foolish or funny. Others are serious, terrifying or disastrous. Some are famous. Others are not well known. All of them are marvelously entertaining.

So remember when you make a mistake, you are not alone! You are in the company of some of the most powerful and smartest people in history!
