Got this from a friend today. Maybe you have already seen it. If so,
sorry for the double-post...
Here are some actual error messages seen on computer screens in Japan,
where some are written in Haiku. Aren't these better than "your computer
has performed an illegal operation"?

-------------------------------------------
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.
