So we're fortunate enough to be working with Oracle at work this week. Oracle, for those not in the know, is a database system created with the sole intent of demoralizing its users and funding the construction of second homes for 'Oracle Consultants.'

During the installation process -- the installation, mind you -- I encountered the following error. Clearly, it is a model of brevity and simplicity.

Tanzan and Ekido were once traveling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was still falling.
Coming around a bend, they met a lovely girl in a silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the intersection.
"Come on, girl" said Tanzan at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried her over the mud.
Ekido did not speak again until that night when they reached a lodging temple. Then he no longer could restrain himself. "We monks don't go near females," he told Tanzan, "especially not young and lovely ones. It is dangerous. Why did you do that?"
"I left the girl there," said Tanzan. "Are you still carrying her?"
