"Rather than offering the cryptic error messages Windows displays for English readers, Japanese editions use calming haiku poems, such as this one (our favorite):
Yesterday it worked.
Today it is not working.
Windows is like that.
Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.
and
Everything is gone;
Your life's work has been destroyed.
Squeeze trigger (yes/no)?

FYI : Japanese Haiku poems are written in 5-7-5 syllable constructions.
