The Internet so rarely surprises anymore. Recently when I tried to view my Amazon wish list, a Jack Russell terrier appeared, along with the message, “Sorry, something went wrong on our end.” 

When I tried to log in anew, two collies named Butters and Marge showed up with the same message. My Chromebook has a similarly quirky way of telling me things aren't working: It displays a dinosaur that looks like it was DOS coded, its beady eye winking at me until it reconnects to WiFi. Google offers a cheeky “Aw Snap!” message when pages won't load.
