I love it when companies add a little personal touch to their 404 pages (though they're taking 'personal' to a whole new level here!) I saw an incredibly great collection of creative 404 pages a few months back. I can't find the one I saw, though Fab404 (http://fab404.com/ http://fab404.com/) has a bunch.

  except it implies that a 404 occurs when something goes wrong and when you can't type. A 404 would be the superset of those two, not the intersection

    Not every typo results in a 404 and not something broke doesn't always mean a 404. On the other hand, its not the intersection of these two, also.

Interestingly fab404's 404 page itself is not at all great. http://fab404.com/404.html http://fab404.com/404.html

The one I use for thingist: http://thingist.com/blahblahblah http://thingist.com/blahblahblah And also 500: http://thingist.com/errordocs/500error.html http://thingist.com/errordocs/500error.html The site is tiny, which let's me be a little bit sillier than normal. Personally I think playfulness is the core of what it means to be a hacker, so I love this type of stuff :)
