The Wizard of Oz in Diesel’s funny 404 error page

diesel-wizard-oz-funny-404-error-page-message

First I didn’t understand who was Daisy. Then when my brains started firing on all cylinders I realized it was a beautiful, funny 404 error page slightly inspired by The Wizard of OZ.

If not entirely, I’m a little bit of Scarecrow myself.

  1. ‘Oopsy daisy’ is a normal, albeit old-fashioned, British English way of saying ‘woops’ or ‘oops’ to a small child. Elderly, and clumsy, fidgety people seem to still be rather fond of the expression ^^

    And yes, I agree it’s a nice 404 :)


  2. oooh thanks for the explanation. Now it all makes more sense:)


  3. Sorry, I can’t help myself – If you’ve seen teh movie Notting Hill, you might recall this conversation:

    William: Whoopsidaisies!
    Anna Scott: What did you say?
    William: Nothing.
    Anna Scott: Yes you did.
    William: No I didn’t.
    Anna Scott: You said “whoopsidaisies”.
    William: I don’t think so. No one says “whoopsidaisies” do they? Unless they’re…
    Anna Scott: There *is* no “unless.” No one has said “whoopsidaisies” for fifty years and even then it was only little girls with blonde ringlets.
    William: Exactly. Here we go again.
    [He falls off the fence again]
    William: Whoopsidaisies. It’s a disease I’ve got. It’s a clinical thing. I’m taking pills and having injections. It won’t last long.
