There are
places on the internet where people have trawled through Google's scanned books and collated the traces of the people who scanned the books. Sometimes, a single purple digit, or a shadowy hand, a curled page or a strange reflection.
Today was the first time I found a super clanger example. Someone, somewhere was scanning a book and I think they may have been drunk or hungover. Just look at the state of this - they weren't even trying.

I've added some useful sarcastic text to help you spot the gaffs |
|
Play at home or with friends "spot the stupid" |
|
It even happened, less frequently, on text pages |
|
Partial focus on the tip of a digit |
|
Even the fingers look like there is something wrong with them |
|
Angles are just a concept. Sideways is best. |
I really do recommend a glance through "The Art of Google" to see some much more spectacular examples: http://theartofgooglebooks.tumblr.com/
You can also scroll through the example I found, learn about Cistercian Architecture, and play "spot the hand":
