I was curious what Yammer’s “fail whale” would be. I wonder no more. His confused countenance is displayed to the right.

Somehow, it seems insensitive to call this perplexed plumber a “fail whale.” I’m waiting to see what the community dubs him.

Update. Turns out this guy already has a name: the Bloglines Plumber. Double fail for Yammer. Thanks, Josh and Sam!

Update 2. This plumber is like an onion: peel one layer off and you find another. Eww! Anyway, according to commenter Mike, before Bloglines our perplexed plumber came from eGroups/Onelists. Anyone have an earlier source?
