A friend just sent me a link to this 404 error page and it hit me: We need great 404 pages like this. Here's one of many lists of great 404s.
I want to have multiple 404s and randomize between them so that people will continually be amused and even refresh the 404 trying to see them all. Please submit ideas for new 404s, your favorite already-existing 404 designs, or to really do a great job attach completely designed zip files containing necessary HTML and media files.
Anyone can try this by leaving comments or attaching files and the first one to do the mission gets Gold Stars credit for the mission.

Ah, the ubiquitous 404 Error: you've tried to access something that isn't there. Statistically speaking, this would have to be about the most common of all errors on the Internet. In fact, the 404 Not Found error is something of an icon on the Net to the point where people register domains called 404error.com and musical groups called '404 Not Found'. It's likely that pretty soon many webmasters and web-enthusiasts who don't get enough sun will start describing real-world objects as '404' (that's 'four-oh-four') - it will become a newly-coined adjective for 'absent'. Strange, really. But the Internet is an especially strange place, as you either know already or are quickly learning from this friendly error message.
Perhaps the link was mistyped, or perhaps you've tried to visit a page which was once here but isn't any longer because someone's moved. Or disappeared. Or maybe it's meant to be there one day but hasn't been put in place as yet. Check the spelling on the filename, delete the filename and start from the directory level perhaps.
Hit the Back button on your browser to continue.

Here yesterday, gone today...
If moving web pages involved more rental vans and heavy lifting, they wouldn't disappear so frequently.
There's nothing for it but to retrace your steps.
