Alternative Error messages for the Soul
In Japan,
they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful computer error messages
with Haiku poetry messages. As you know, a Haiku has five syllables in
the first line, seven in the second, five in the third. They are used
to communicate a timeless message. Here are some Haiku error messages
from Japan:
-===---====---===-

Cannot be located.
