A 404 Page with a twist!


A 404 page is what you will see displayed within your browser when the website you are visiting has not been able to find the page you are looking for.

To make an analogy - it’s a bit like pissing on the toilet seat… headed in the right direction but slightly of the mark!!

Perhaps I could have titled this post: “A pisser of a 404 page”

But let’s let Wikipedia explain…


The 404 or Not Found error message is an HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server but either the server could not find what was requested, or it was configured not to fulfill the request and did not reveal the reason why. 404 errors should not be confused with “server not found” or similar errors, in which a connection to the destination server could not be made at all.


Most 404’s are boring!

Here’s mine…

(Note the analogy in italics towards the bottom…)
