If there was 2 working disks earlier, why was the controller rebuilding
the array?

Because one disk stopped working.

And it was replaced, right, 'cause the controller was rebuilding the
array? While rebuilding either A) one of the disks (the old with data or
the new, which replaced the broken one) broke down or B) the new disk
was already broken. In either case it's impossible to report the failure
before it exists.

 My favorite is the classical Win NT error message:

"Offending Command"

There is a "catastrophic failure" message on Office.

I'm told various versions of the Linux kernel had absurd messages like 
"Penguin on the SCSI bus" and "The printer is on fire"...

"The printer is on fire" apparently meaning a [very] unexpected response 
received from the printer. (The kernel has no idea what on earth it 
means, hence the daft message.)

The SCSI bug error is similar.

I have no recollection of where I got these gems from.
