I just came across a site that shows some creative 404 pages. Those pages you see when the page you are looking for is not found. The site is called Area404.
They have categorized the 404s in such headings as adult, sexy, creepy, cute, mean, etc. A common thing seems to be to have haiku 404s:
From legnog.com:
Sorrow covers you.
Honourable Web reports:
Document not found.
From sambot.com a Mr. T haiku:
I pity the foo’
who tries to look at this page
there ain’t nothing here
From dymphna.net:
fish hunts for water
but like you clicking on page
still cannot find it
Others amusing 404s have ascii art, Shakespearian warnings, and even the Oompa Loompa 404 song.
I guess it’s time for me to redesign my 404 page…
