I'm not sure what these mean, but they were available as some old "downtime" placeholder scripts, so I enabled them.
I'm sorry if the texts were neither humorous nor soothing but I felt that anything was better than giving back the internal server error.
I'll look into creating (and rather not) displaying alternative downtime placeholders, just in case.

Hag-seed, hence!
Freely translated: "You are the immature offspring of a wrinkly old witch. Go away now."
The image is of our old friend, NodeReaper.

That's cited from "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare, Act I, Scene II:
...
Caliban You taught me Language, and my Profit on't
Is, I know how to curse: The Red-plague rid you
For learning me your Language.
Prospero Hag-seed, hence!
Fetch us in Fewel, and be quick, thou wer't best
To answer other Business: Shrug'st thou, Malice?
If thou neglect'st, or dost unwillingly
What I command, I'll rack thee with old Cramps,
Fill all thy Bones with Aches, make thee roar,
That Beasts shall tremble at thy din.
Cal. No, 'pray thee.
I must obey, his Art is of such Pow'r,
It would control my Dam's God Setebos,
And make a Vassal of him.
Pro. So Slave, hence. [ Exit Caliban
...
No Fear Shakespeare translates "Hag-seed, hence!" as "Get out of here, you son of a bitch!" ;-) | [reply] |
