Have you ever made a spelling error or typo and had it inspire you? I'm not planning to pursue the following line of inquiry, but I'm inpired by the post-it error on my desk right now.

I made a note about one of my classes, but ended up scrawling Writing for New Medea. It occurs to me that a course about Writing for New Medea could think about the Jerry Springer syndrome and modern television, in which the morality tale mixes with the public shame ritual. The course could also explore the effect of New Media on parenting in the new medea age—murdering mothers being a central node in the conversation.

When have you flown off on a fancy after discovering a typo or spelling error?
