The lesser spotted fail whale

Ah, my old friend, the fail whale. For those of us who have been on twitter for 5 years or more, we recall nostalgically the great Fail Whale days of 2008, when they were re-engineering their system. Then it was more prevalent than the actual functioning site. Now it is such an integral part of society, they couldn't get away with it, people would start suing them for loss of an essential service. So, I guess it was Olympics overheating or something, but I had a 'hello old friend' moment when I saw it yesterday.
Yes, I know it's not a very good photo for my 300th blip, but in that it is a bit crap, rushed and lacking artistic merit, I think it is quite appropriate.
