oracle.com is down

It's 7:54 AM EST on a Thursday morning and www.oracle.com is showing this message in plain black text on a white screen:

An error occurred while processing the request. Try refreshing your browser. If the problem persists contact the site administrator

First, I can't believe oracle.com is down. How is that possible? It must be the application code because Oracle is unbreakable, right?

But I'm just as amazed at how bad that error message is. Not even formatted with an Oracle logo. I don't even know that I'm really hitting Oracle. Then again, when your system is unbreakable, why would you spend time formatting error messages?
