I posted this on the TC forum but I thought I would put it here for your amusement:
I encountered a bug recently when I was trying to harvest sand beetle and kept getting the message "You cannont open that container 'Ato Usta' (an insane kitsonak) right now" (or something to that effect). I looked around and sure enough there was an insane kitsonak by that name a few dozen meters away.
When I got home my husband grabbed me an showed me this screenshot. Check the system message that came up when he tried to loot the rebel NPC.
Before I remembered about the bug I thought for sure that it must have been some really disgruntled developer at work. Actually it was probably a harvester.

'When writing your message, remember to keep the language clean.'
Remember this? Its the warning on the new message creation screen.
I was going to write a fitting comment on the screenshot and the probable frame of mind of the developer...my message got nerfed.

Hehe. Actually the bug is that when you try to loot or harvest something the system targets some other object or creature nearby and attempts to harvest/loot that. I am guessing in this case it attempted to target someone's mineral harvester. Those things always crack me up. Especially the animation. Now THAT came from the mind of a sicko developer.

Aha! Now I understand the part about the harvestor...I guess I should start to pay more attention to their labels
*sprints to nearest harvestor farm in search of some low-brow amusement*
