The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy has the following to say about website error messages:
"Website
error messages are typically boring, cryptic, and often undecypherable
snippets of geek code that are used to inform a user that he or she has
screwed something up. Often, this is completely untrue, as the fault
more often than not lies with the webmaster for failing to check that
the hyperlinks on his or her website had been checked, doublechecked,
signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found,
subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft
peat and recycled as firelighters.
"Of
course," the Guide continues, "at this point you are left with only two
options. (Three if you suddenly, and for no good reason whatsoever,
decide to irritate a Vogon by feeding his grandmother to the Ravenous
Bugblatter Beast of Traal.)
"Your first option: Panic, which as we all know is not entirely a good idea.
"Your
second option: Don't Panic. As any well-travelled hitchhiker will tell
you (usually in exchange for a free drink), this is the better of the
two options. If you are kind (or foolishly generous) enough to continue
to buy them free drinks, they will likely share with you, albeit in an
admittedly drunken slur of mumbles and obscene gestures, that there
are, in fact, only two other pieces of advice in the galaxy that could
even compare in sheer practical usefulness to the aforementioned "Don't
Panic" tidbit. First, never drink more than two
Pan-Galactic Gargle Blasters unless you are a 30 ton mega elephant with
bronchial phneumonia. Second, and most important, never forget your
towel. It's a big galaxy out there."
