OK, I zinged the
Motley Fool a
few weeks back for a delayed follow-up on a correction -- so it's only
fair that I post a small blog item when they make me smile.
I hit a
link
today for a Fool article, and, although the link was bad (at least it was when I hit it; it's since been fixed), the site has a
sense of humor about it. The first time I clicked it, I got this haiku:
Wiley little File
Eludes you most handsomely
Whack that mouse harder
So I checked the original source, and clicked again. This time, I got a different haiku:
Server is willing
Alas, the file is crafty
It cannot be found
Nice to have a little fun. For the record, the site also says:
"That's '404: File not found' for the technically inclined." It gives
some possible reasons for the broken link and points you in the right
direction to
try again. ... More friendly than the standard error 404, that's for
sure.
