All-time favorite typos

Although "typo" may be too charitable a term. These are so egregiously wrong, they probably show a complete lack of familiarity with the words, rather than a mere slip of the fingers.

Flafill for "falafel."

Ciadel for "Seattle."

And, just seen today:

Furrows for "pharaohs."

Anyone have some examples of their own?
