Japanese error messages -- in haiku

I got this from a friend, Colleen Chun.

In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft

error messages with Haiku poetry messages. Haiku Poetry has strict

construction rules: Each poem has only 17 Syllables - 5 syllables in

the first line, 7 in the second, 5 in the Third. They are used to

communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning,

and powerful insight through extreme brevity.

------------------------------------------------------

The Web site you seek

Cannot be located, but

Countless more exist.

--------------------------------------------

Chaos reigns within.

Reflect, repent, and reboot.

Order shall return.

--------------------------------------------

Program aborting

Close all that you have worked on.

You ask far too much.

--------------------------------------------

Windows NT crashed.

I am the Blue Screen of Death.

No one hears your screams.

--------------------------------------------

Yesterday it worked.

Today it is not working.

Windows is like that.

--------------------------------------------

Your file was so big.

It might be very useful.

But now it is gone.

--------------------------------------------

Stay the patient course.

Of little worth is your ire.

The network is down.

--------------------------------------------

A crash reduces

Your expensive computer

To a simple stone.

--------------------------------------------

Three things are certain

Death, taxes and lost data.

Guess which has occurred.

--------------------------------------------

You step in the stream,

But the water has moved on.

This page is not here.

--------------------------------------------

Out of memory.

We wish to hold the whole sky,

But we never will.

--------------------------------------------

Having been erased,

The document you're seeking

Must now be retyped.

--------------------------------------------

Serious error.

All shortcuts have disappeared.

Screen. Mind. Both are blank.

--------------------------------------------

I ate your Web page.

Forgive me; it was tasty

And tart on my tongue

Here's a little information about Naked-Air.
***
It wasn't the Wright Brothers but at least it was newsworthy.

Ninety intrepid adventurers, passengers and crew enjoyed the first nude flight on a commercial airliner May 3 from Miami to Cancun, Mexico. A chartered Boeing 737 carried the first ever NAKED AIR flight sponsored by Castaways Travel of Houston, Texas. The professionally dressed crew remained clothed throughout the flight, adhering to standard operating rules of the Federal Aviation Association (FAA). Only the passengers disrobed after "take off" and remained nude for level flight until the captain called for clothes and landing procedures upon approaching the Cancun International Airport. Length of the NAKED AIR flight from Miami to Cancun was one hour fifteen minutes. Most passengers were on their way to the El Dorado and Hidden Beach Resorts for NUDE WEEK, also sponsored by Castaways Travel from May 3-10-03.

Hagfish Lite is Back!

Yes boys and girls, Hagfish has returned with the Lite side of things. Bad economy, bad news, fallen arches, or, a cheatin' heart getting you down? Time for a little relief. No holds barred here, if I laugh at it, up it goes. If you find something offensive, skip it, or go on to one of the other Hagfish Group blogs.

To get you into the spirit of things, here's a star attraction from the olde dayes.

This is a real lawyers office. Unfortunately, I have no idea where it is.
The pic is for real, and funny enough in itself, but the reactions of the of the people...ahh, beautiful. Love it!
