An error message that makes you smile is a Good Thing. It lets you know what you've done wrong, but doesn't feel like a telling off.
This was seen on http://labs.ideeinc.com/multicolr/ (a flickr colour searching tool):
"In accordance with common sense, decency, propriety, sobriety, and the Search Limitations Act of 1729, we respectfully inform you, our dear user, that the number of colours searched upon must not exceed 10. Thank you for your cooperation."
Brilliant.
