Oh fail whale, who I'll miss thee.

It's probably a downtime image rather than an overload image. I bet the fail whale will be kept around for times that the server can't take it.

First time I saw the “Failerpillar” was Oct. 6. A few other folks also captured it for posterity. Though I guess his cool friend still needs a nickname…

RIP, whale.

Howdy – different images for different statuses – these guys have been around for a while

Anthropomorphic* ice cream.

Also, the fail whale is alive and well. I've seen this before. This is for planned downtime — fail whale is unplanned.

That is dope and so is the fail whale. I would like to see a fail PB&J next.

I hear rumors that the Fail Whale has been set free from captivity. Exclusive photo of him being released into the wild: http://www.geeked.info/real-life-fail-whale/
