Quite often I just surf randomly around wikipedia, just gathering input, building my brain, and raising my level of awareness of the events taking place in the "real world", a place I rarely visit.
During today's surf I managed to end up at the page for Toast (the CD recording software). The history of Toast is of particular interest to me because I have been a loyal user since it's inception and am now personal acquaintance and friend of many of it's developers.
On this page is a link to a particular company's website. Unfortunately, the link is no longer valid and you're redirected to the famous '404 Page Not Found' screen. Unfortunate? Not in this case! The text of the page reads:
"We're sorry. The page you were trying to view is no longer here. We hate this as much as you do, so we'd like to offer you a coupon for 10% off your next order to make things right again." [followed by a personal coupon code]
10% off!? A discount on your products because you broke your website and caused me great pain and suffering? You admit your fault and wish to offer me compensation? You are truly a great and honorable organization.

Holy Crap that's awesome. I'd do that, but I like money too much.
