Is this the one you were referring to? http://www.plinko.net/asdfgh

Uh, IE only does that if the page is less than 512 bytes (not including external resources). Searching for "ie 404" would tell you that.

(Btw, according to Wikipedia, Chrome does the same, so beware).

Plinko labs. They've been doing this for years.

plinko (and everyone who uses it)will be in trouble... http://www.plinko.net/404/

Sorry. I seem to have misplaced it.

For what reason would we be cheerful when we have such devastating incidents daily such as the Dreaded 404, which has already been shown by logs to spread depression.

Try this link! It's never failed me! Slashdot THAT! HA-HA!

That's great, but please, cite your sources. Googling came up with this site: thebest404pageever

That's not the source, this is

My favorite 404 Page Not Found error is a online PHP version of Zork.

More games as 404 errors here.

In Yahoo! Directory Humor > 404 Error I found the 404 Research Lab which links to my favorite 404 of all time: THCNET's 404. Also in the Yahoo! Directory and 404 Research Lab are other interesting/funny 404's

BTW, the problem with the link in the /. article is actually not a 404. 404 is when a URL for a valid website is a file that is not found or doesn't exist; the link in /. redirects to an entirely different domain, which could be caused by any number of things other than a 404.

Hmmm, seems like very few people actually watch the urls's going past... Now where did I put 003.html?

Ya know, somebody ought to start a collection of cool 404's or sumthin... Oh yah, there already are some.....

If you would like to credit someone, credit plinko.net which have used that passage as their 404 Error for some time now.

Try it here...

IANA 404 research scientist, but... Why can't my browser just open a connection to the web page, and if the heading starts with "404", not load the page and simply flash a warning that the page is not available?
