We all know the “500 Internal Server Error” but have you ever seen it on youtube.com:
http://m.youtube.com/index?warned=1&session=%
It says:
Sorry, something went wrong.
A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation. Please report this incident to customer service.
You guys made my day 
PS: For some reason you sometimes have to click on the link twice until you get the message.

another 500 Internal Server Error -> http://it.youtube.com/video_response_view_all
Ich glaube mich erinnern zu können, dass die Affen bereits vor der Übernahme durch Google am Werk waren. Die Fehlermeldung natürlich auch.
Oh come on… lots of sites blow up when URL decoding fails. All you did was to send a bad percent-encoded character. See for yourself…

Hi “OWASP”,
sorry but you did not get the point
It’s not about the 500 Error, it’s about the message you get about the error (the monkey one). Because of this, the posting is in the section “Fun”.
PS: A 400 HTTP Error as you’ve posted in your comment is something really different as a 500 but as I said, it’s not about the server’s behavior
