Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Google seems to be a big supporter of finger-crossing.

Don't you just love the little messages Google has made for those kind of things? I don't even mind it anymore when something is wrong with gmail. (As long as it's fixed quickly) I even enjoy reading those messages. Thanks for sharing Intelliot.

The messages that google put when Gmail is down are very cleaver. It's nice to see a company with a bit of humor!

Sorry, there seems to be a problem. The service you're looking for is temporarily unavailable. We're working hard to restore your access as soon as possible. Please try again in a few hours. Thanks for your patience.
