The FBI's investigation into the September 11th attacks was the largest in US history. But still, they couldn't be bothered to think up a decent name for it. It was called Operation PENTTBOM.
This annoys me for two reasons:
1) The blinding literalism of it ("WOH! They've like, bombed the Pentagon! What the hell are we gonna call this goddamn investigation, Hank?")
2) The stupid spelling, with that extraneous "T" and the second "B" missing. I bet hours of FBI time were wasted by employees entering the wrong name in official documents, then having to go back and correct it.

It was the same excellent logic that gave the UNABOMBER his name. Ya see, he BOMBed UNiversities and Airlines.
