'Abort, Retry, Fail?' was the phrase some wormdog scrawled next to the door of the Edit Universe project room. And when the new dataspinners started working, fabricating their worlds on the huge organic comp systems, we'd remind them: if you see this message, {always} choose 'Retry.'

Get the Raven fail mug.When someone makes such an embarrassingly stupid mistake that it is worthy to be on Failblog.org in picture or video form. The funny equivalent to a kodak moment.
Actual example from Failblog.org:
SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. - Authorities said a couple got into a fight using 'cheetos'. The Bedford County Sheriff's Department said a 40-year old man and a 44-year old woman became involved in a 'verbal altercation'. Somehow, the orange puffy snacks were used in the assault. Deputies said they were charged with domestic assault. No one was hurt. They both were posted with a bond of $2,500.
That is a perfect example of a Failblog moment.
