How funny, I was just doing that: <http://bunny.skillcheck.com/404notfound> It's doing it the "wrong" way -- by grabbing one from a list of computer error haikus returned by the fortune command, rather than auto-generating relevant ones. Like Uri said, Coy.pm can do them on the fly. Check out the paper Damien wrote on it, it's hilarious: <http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~damian/TPC/1999/Coy/> -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
