Funny Page Misdirection Text

At least Greenpeace has a sense of humour. I got to this page through a broken link.
Skip navigation.

The Dodo (Raphus cucullatus), was a metre-high flightless bird common on the island of Mauritius. First visited by Europeans in 1505 the dodo was extinct by 1700.

Sorry! We couldn't find that page!

This could have happened for several reasons:

1. The page may be extinct, like many whales, chimpanzees, and gorillas in the wild could be without your help.

2. The page may have moved, like many Pacific Islanders will have to do when their homes sink beneath the waves due to global warming.

3. You may have made a mistake typing the address, or we made a mistake creating a link. Mistakes happen. Chernobyl and Bhopal should have taught us that they can have devastating consequences, which is why releasing inadequately tested genetically engineered crops into nature is stupid and dangerous.

4. Our web server may be malfunctioning. This happens to large complicated technical systems often, which is why the Star Wars missile defense system will never work and shouldn't be deployed.

What you can do:

1. You can try again and correct any misspellings.

2. Or you can try a search engine.

3. You can go to our home page , or the main pages for the following issue areas:

Climate change and clean energy
Deep sea destruction
Deforestation
Genetic engineering
Nuclear power
Overfishing
Peace
Whales

5. A record has been made of this error, and if it's something we can fix, we will! You can also report a broken link here.

6. Oh, and while it won't help you find the link you're looking for, you can do something to help save the forests of the orangutans and gorillas, stop global warming, save the whales, and oppose nuclear, toxic, and genetic disasters: You can volunteer, join a local group or donate to Greenpeace.
