The comments on the following Failblog.org posting are full of a half-dozen different fails themselves. The Fail posting itself has three different fails in it all by itself. Can you catch them all? (Spoilers in white below link)
1. The original question is asking how to get a purebred version of something that is by definition a mixed breed (Puggle) (Easy)
2. Poodle is misspelled as Poddle. (Easy)
3. A puggle is a mix of a Pug and a Beagle not a Pug and a Poodle (or Poddle) (Hard)
The afficionados of fail are perhaps trying to become experts through practice? (Again, see comments)

But wait, isn't a purebred puggle the offspring of two purebred species? In other words, a mutt puggle isn't pure puggle, but has got some dirty foreign canine blood in 'm? SOOOOO there is, in a sense, such a thing as a purebred mutt?
The problem is that a 'Puggle' is not recognized as a breed by any of the kennel clubs. A purebred Puggle is an oxymoron in that sense. If you had non-purebred pugs and beagles breeding then the offspring is technically not a puggle. But, since there is no breed standard for a puggle, technically you can call anything you want a puggle anyway so it doesn't matter. The only meaning purebred even has is relative to a breed standard. If no breed standard exists, the term is meaningless. People make up names for crossbreeds all the time but until they have established as a separate independent breed with a standard, the term purebred is simply not applicable.

That thread was pretty funny. Those guys go off topic at the drop of a hat. It's like a whole messageboard of fotzes.
I actually laughed out loud at the one comment "I thought the question was 'to be or not to be'".
