cross your fingers

Just had this message trying to access my gmail:

"Google is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We're sorry for the inconvenience."

So they actually need our help to solve their server problems? What happened to the all-powerful domination, I mean googlisation, of the web? Weird.

Anyway, I'll be saving all the crossing of fingers I can do for later today when Man Utd. plays against Chelsea. They obviously need it.
