Expensive Mistakes
coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"
No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

Not really an expensive mistake...
... but in the vein of the "expertsexchange" domain name, we used to wind up one of the Microsoftie admins in a webby company I used to work for by referring to his beloved Microsoft Exchange mailing list as "the Mmmmm Sexchange list".
Actually, the company went tits owing me two month's wages, so I suppose it was a fairly expensive mistake?
Length? About six weeks before I discovered where the ex-boss lived.
