The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

Essentially, it's an unanticipated bug -- CCP simply never accounted for a situation in which the character might 'belong' to itself. The cluster logically expects that the player will only ever 'own' a ship or an item, so when it sees 'Bob owns Bob' it makes the logical assumption that 'Bob = Ship', and doesn't error-check to see if Bob is a ship.
The end-result is that the cluster tries to undock or fit a module to 'Bob' -- but Bob only looks like a ship, and doesn't have the code required to allow him to undock or fit a module.
This is pretty close to truth. In total there were 3 characters that were not owned by the EVE System which caused some code to start doing silly things to characters. For the user it would have him fail to undock and modules be turned offline and all sort of shenanigans like that. The fix was basically restoring the characters to the correct state and to add some additional logging to find out who is actually putting them in that state.
well, that's just a little mysterious
3 characters not owned by the eve system?
are they real players?
hackers?
a new form of digital life created by the cluster?
and who is this who? who is putting them into this state

Sometimes we end up debugging stuff that happens sporadically with no common thread and no logs. At those times I walk around with a limp and pretend I'm doctor House. QA doesn't like it much.
I would pay to see this.
