404: Creativity found

We've all experienced it. The dreaded "Page Not Found" error message on a website. Often it means the address we have is incorrect or the content has been moved or removed. This is often referred to as a "404 error" indicating that the browser was able to communicate with the server but could not find what was requested.

Most of the time, the error message we receive is a standard one like this. Effective, but boring.

Well Smashing Magazine has put together a great collection of some of the most clever Page Not Found pages.

Some of my favorites are here, here, here and here.
