Did backgammon cause today's stock market selloff?

From an Associated Press story about today's big stock market selloff:

"There were reports that the sudden drop was caused by a trader who mistyped an order to sell a large block of stock. The drop in that stock's price was enough to trigger "sell" orders across the market"

Neil, I'm going to have to ask you to pay less attention to the monitor with the extreme gammon rollouts so that this doesn't happen again.
