I'm getting

    500 error
    [root]$ :(){ :|:& };:
    -bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable

Hopefully that second line and bash don't hint at a command execution vulnerability.

Hi, no.. it's just an attempt at humor.

I'd get rid of it. Why would you add more confusion to your product? It's hard enough to grasp as a novel concept without adding misdirection.

Nah, I really love it actually! It's a really good error page.

I hope anyone who thinks about it for more than five seconds will realise it's a joke.

I like it... that and the 404 error:

[root]$ ls moo

ls: moo: No such file or directory

That's a forkbomb, if memory serves? haha

It is quite obvious that its a joke, with the fork bomb and the response...
