at the moment i am just writing some silly nooby programms and i thought it would be kinda nice if there were funny error messages instead of the standard stuff, so do post your funny error messages here and if they fit, i ask permission if i can use them.

current nooby program i am working is just a little program that sorts files into sub-directories, for example it would put go through a directory and put all doc files in an doc file and text files in a text folder, as i said it's just for learning proccess. the program is called CRAP.

some i came up wit:
"CRAP is organising this path now......this may take a while so go and grap a beer"
"CRAP has finished now,press any button to continue or press any other button to quit."

sorry i am just crap at jokes.

EDIT: also make sure it is possible for the user to be able to understand the error or output message

I entered 'Rounding Error City' today, while tracking down some problems in some code (someone elses code) lol. Can't post the code though, too much of it.

I remember I saw a list once of funny errors due to user variables and what not. One of them was an error where there was no variable or function of that name, so it was like

{
God()
}

Error: God does not exist.

There was a whole list of them, very funny.

EDIT:I found one of those lists. http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~jford/man/
