Go to Plinko at: http://www.plinko.net/404/index.asp

There you will find more examples of customized error messages--humorous,
pathetic, and downright odd--than you can shake a stick at. The site's 404
Lab also gives instructions on how to change your site's error messages,
along with configuration details for many different types of servers.
