Spark Plugs Too dumb to believe

On the too dumb to believe list, last week I looked at the spark plugs I 
removed from the 345 a month or so ago at the beginning of the 
distributor saga, (more on that in another post).  I noticed that the 
threads on one of the plugs were badly rearranged, as in "some damn fool 
cross-threaded this".  In 40 years (this number is getting really 
out of hand) of working on engines I guess I had to do it once.  

Yesterday,  I inspected the plug holes with a small inspection mirror and 
magnet.  No visible damage and no filings came out.  All 8 new plugs 
started easily and went in with fingers only.

There is a God!
