In the early days of Twitter the "fail whale" was so common it got assimilated into culture as a term to use for anytime any site gets overloaded. Nowadays it seems like that term is "hugged to death"

Everybody knows about the "fail whale".. nobody knows about the "moan cone".. The image is lost to history but it was captured by this account ages ago: https://twitter.com/moan_cone

IT was thrown when the system was failing at the rails layer rather than the apache layer. I believe that Ryan King and I were the last people to ever see the moan cone in production. =)
