Broken Links Aren't Cool

A Double-Double Feature
Of 404 pages.
Some of the best 404 "Paqe Not Found" pages I've seen are on IMDb.com. They're cleverly done, with quotes - sometimes paraphrased - from different movies, a random one each time you click on a broken link. Here are some of the funniest ones: (I kept refreshing the page to get the different ones I particularly liked)

Dog Day Afternoon
Got an email from Fanbox yesterday afternoon, saying I had a fairly large amt. of money in my account. Now, I don't remember signing up for it, but that's nothing new - I got an email from Flickr a while back telling me I needed to sign into the site if I wanted to keep my acct., so it was a distinct possibility that I had joined the site then promptly forgot about it. (as I did Flickr) So, I went to the site to see why it was I had money in my account and when I clicked on the link, the above was where I was sent.
I read more about it and found out many on the 'net think it's a scam. It probably is because I would have had to give some sensitive information to cash in my money, but their 404 page is cute.
They can keep the money.

Good Movie, Bad Move
From Indiewire, a movie website.
These types of 404 pages are the most annoying to me; why would I want to search for something else if what I wanted to read in the first place wasn't there?
I'm giving the site a bad review for a bad link!

Monkeying Around With 404 Pages
I've been meaning to start this new category, but keep forgetting. It's a collection of "404" pages I've been directed to on websites. I'm sure you've seen them, but if you're not aware of what they are, they're basically dead links, the "page not found" message. (or, for more information, click on the "404" link above)
There are websites devoted to 404 pages, so it's not as though I'm doing anything new. (here's one and here's another.)
This is one that just an hour or so ago was directed to at userscripts.org, a site I sometimes get scripts to use in my Greasemonkey add-on for my Firefox browser. I thought it was appropriate - a monkey and Greasemonkey.
