what are your favourite 404 error messages?

Question

I've seen a BSOD one.. a haiku one.. some are hilarious.

Ones specific to websites I'm talking about.

Any other gems floating around?

Answer 1

There was a CNN.com article about this many years ago. (Actually, I think it's from PCWorld.com originally.) My favorite remains the same, MIT's play on the William Carlos Williams poem "This Is Just To Say" about plums:

I ate your Web page.
Forgive me. It was juicy
And tart on my tongue.

Edit: here is a collection of haiku ones.

Answer 2

404 File Not Found

The requested URL was not found on this or any server because.... You have reached the end of the Internet

There are no more web pages. There is no where else to surf.

Turn off your computer.

Go visit your friends and family.

Go outside and get some sun.

Answer 11

I, as a programmer, like the SO 404 page.

It took me a while to get it, until, one day, I don't really know how or why I just said: "Doh!!, of course"
