old weird error message

[Ivan Calandra-2]

Dear users,

I have a weird questions. A friend of mine, some years ago, supposedly
trying to access help files without Internet connection, got something
like this error message:

"The Pythia is not available, please go to Delphi"

When I've heard about it, I found it very funny and I'd like to be able
to get it. Does anyone of you know how to get this error message again?

Since it's an old story, no sessionInfo possible.

Thanks in advance for this uncritical question!
Ivan

see head(`?`, 20)

there is another funny thing: Sys.sleep(2 + rpois(1, 2))  (in theory R
can, although is unlikely to, sleep forever since it is a Poisson
distribution...)
