    There was even an entire standards document drawn up (as a practical joke), called the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP 1.0). To this day though, there the server status response 418 - I’m a teapot still exists. It was defined as part of HTCPCP as the error code returned when you tried to get a teapot to brew coffee :)

    Web nerds took their coffee seriously! Or maybe they didn’t? Does doing up an entire standards document as an april fools joke count as serious or unserious?
