What's the weirdest typo/error you've seen in a book? (infosec.pub)

I’m currently reading “The Number of the Beast” by Robert Heinlein. Book is from the 1980s, and there’s a completely doubled up paragraph in the book! It spans two pages but the image shows enough I think.

It was a joke, but I didn't know that, so thank you for the edification.

edit: "That" being the fact offered in response to my comment. I was aware that I was making a joke.
