Squeaky Said. Very Cool - 404 File Not Found Error Page!
At some point in time, pretty much all Internet surfers have see an HTTP 404 error message. You click on a URL and and you are on your way to that web page and Bingo - file not found.
Now, for the most part there is the old faithful standard which displays a message like this.
404: File Not Found Error
The page you’re looking for cannot be found
There are a number of possible reasons for this.
* We’ve recently redesigned our site which caused a change in many of our urls. The main sections of the site can be accessed through the links above.
* If you’ve typed a url, perhaps it is incorrect or contains a typo.
If you feel you’ve encountered this problem due to an error, please inform our webmaster.
You can create a custom HTTP 404 error page with a simple html editor and a graphics program. Just create the HTTP 404 page with your html editor and name it, notfound.html and edit the .htaccess and add this statement, “ErrorDocument 404 /notfound.html” without the brackets.

I wonder how much time they spent on a page like this? That would be interesting to know…

Some Wordpress themes come with an informative 404 page—for instance, one that also lists the 20 most recent posts on your blog, so people can still try to find something out.
(My previous theme did that. I’ll have to reimplement it for my current theme.)
