A possibly apocryphal didactic story relevant because if an HTTP implementation misses 418, what else does it miss?: The story goes that Van Halen had stipulated on their concert rider that they wanted M&M candy backstage, but with all the brown ones removed. In his autobiography ‘Crazy From the Heat’ singer David Lee Roth explained this was not just a childish request, but in fact was a cunning test whereby he could tell instantly if the venue was safe or not. He reasoned that if a concert venue did put brown M&Ms out, then they cannot have read the rider properly and that they then might also have made other more dangerous errors, such as in their electricity supply or stage weight capacity. https://www.metaltalk.net/chris-dale-myth-busting-the-van-halen-brown-mm-story.php https://www.metaltalk.net/chris-dale-myth-busting-the-van-ha...
