Fark.com ran a 404 contest and the entries are posted. Great for a end of the work week laugh.

Madhu writes an easy to understand article on useful “Page not found” error pages : evolt.org and takes us on a tour of good and bad examples.

From CNN, Webmasters get creative with ’404 Error’ pages. Been meaning to create my own for over two years. Man, that’s a long time to have an item on my to do list. Maybe when the site gets redesigned.
