I can't find it now, but someone made a 404 error message with the black guy from spaceballs in the desert when he says "We ain't found shit!" Greatest one ever.

I hate funny 404 pages!!!! Especially when I get sent to them via a link on the site itself. Its just not comical.

I decided a long time ago that 404 pages should actually be site maps. The idea of guessing what the user was looking for is intriguing but like stated in one of the links above probably isn't worth the system resources.

Lol, custom 404 pages are awesome but I think they take up a lot of crucial bandwidth if planned unaccordingly.

missingarrow: I agree, if there was a 404 error, there should be suggestions, a link to contact the owners about it, etc.

Hah, thats a couple of nice likes, but definately agree with Submerge, they could whore your bandwidth.

Custom 404 pages are really good at looking. Those are few good ones. I too agree with submerge and camuk19 that they can take up lots of bandwidth.
