I vaguely remember an old story about a flight simulation program being used to train helicopter pilots for flying in the Australian outback.
One of the training requirements was not to try and buzz a troop of kangaroos.
Thing was, the software had been adapted from a military flight simulator, so during early testing when a trainee got too close the kangaroos, they would bounce behind a ridge and then launch a ground-to-air missile at the chopper.
Despite the "bug" in the software, it was effective as the pilots always steered clear of the roos.
