Description:
In the documentation of str_to_date (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Date_and_time_functions.html), it uses 'crap' in the example.  It should be changed to something other than %crap, as it doesn't seem very professional in context.

mysql> SELECT STR_TO_DATE('10rap', '%crap')
        -> 0000-10-00 00:00:00

is the offending example.

How to repeat:
1.  Look at str_to_date documentation on overhead projector.
2.  Try to prevent training class you are teaching from laughing too hard.
3.  Make joke about manual not really being crap.

Suggested fix:
Change %crap example to something else.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been addressed in the
documentation. The updated documentation will appear on our website
shortly, and will be included in the next release of the relevant

Additional info:

And not only that, the queries have no terminating semicolons.

Fixed, thanks.
