    [...] It’s almost too often that you receive forwards with variations on a theme, but here’s a page we really feel like mentioning.The theme is this: “Is there an art of 404 pages?” And the variations are many and funny. Consider, for example, the “Philosophical” one: “The Web page you seek Cannot be located but Endless others exist.” That one’s almost a koan. (If you don’t know what a koan is, you should be ashamed of being Asian, you klutz! (Heh! Just kidding! Google it!)) There are many at http://www.365questions.org/2006/10/15/is-there-an-art-of-404-pages , but here’s our pick - “For psychos”: Server Error-404 Psychiatric Support Page Your file cannot be found!
