I liked the older one better - http://www.google.com/tisp/notfound.html

You might have typed the URL incorrectly, for instance. Or (less likely but certainly plausible) we might have coded the URL incorrectly. Or (far less plausible, but theoretically possible, depending on which ill-defined Grand Unifying Theory of physics one subscribes to), some random fluctuation in the space-time continuum might have produced a shatteringly brief but nonetheless real electromagnetic discombobulation which caused this error page to appear.




Just FYI, that wasn't their actual one, but the 404 for their April Fool's joke: http://www.google.com/tisp/




that page is reserved for 500 errors.

for a 404 they swap out several images. see http://www.reddit.com/thisisa404



Aww, some pages just make you want to hug their creators. I wish more sites had this kind of warm gems.


The "MentalPlex" April Fool's Joke would have been funnier if it had automatically entered "porn" into the search box after a few seconds.


I'd have entered "they don't really expect me to believe that, do they?"
