Thar she blows!
FailWhale Cup
When Twitter fails, it usually shows a picture of the FailWhale. The little birds that tweet are under too much load (the whale) and they can’t pull it off, so they go down. It’s a funny graphical way of saying, “This site is under maintenance.”
If your web site has been down a lot lately, give your webmaster or network guys some grief – buy them the FailWhale coffee mug for $15.85 from Zazzle as of this writing.
