In retrospect, I should apologize for posting such a shitty article from such a shitty source. I did it for the laughs.

451 is a great error code. It's a reference to Fahrenheit 451, and is used to indicate government censorship. In this case it's being used all wrong, and almost ironic in nature.

418 is a fun one too. "I'm a teapot"

418 is always a little disappointing though. Lots of projects out there touting their "full HTCPCP compatibility" when all they do is serve 418 to every request; no actual coffeepots I could find last time I looked.

Sounds like the problem is trying to make teapots capable of coffee pot control protocol.
