My other favourite (also Google, which is interesting) is an Orkut server error: Bad, bad server. No donut for you We're sorry, but the orkut.com server has acted out in an unexpected way. Hopefully it will return to its usual helpful self if you give it another chance. We apologize for the inconvenience and our server's lack of consideration for others.

Akismet does a similar thing in Wordpress - it says it must be your lucky day because you have no comment spam. there are a few other cute error messages I've seen around the place that add a lot of personality to what could otherwise be a frustrating experience (Flickr, Blogbeat and Bloglines spring to mind). makes all the difference, doesn't it! :) i had to go delete all my spam in Gmail to see that error message - it’s cute, isn’t it!

One of my absolute favourites is the spam folder in Gmail. Go and check whether you have any spam and you get this great message: Hooray, no spam here! Not only does this give me the information I needed, but it makes no spam a little funnier and more exciting than it is in other interfaces.
