    What made you smile, the fact that a large site was down or the picture?

      Yeah, the picture. Took me back to childhood.

  1. At first I thought searching for "la la land" was just a way to get the error message, and then I learn that it's actually a show. Whattayouknow.

      Probably the funniest thing on UK TV at the moment. For me anyway.

    Does the web page make the "eeeeeeee" sound as well? :)

    Also I am sure the younger crowd will say "oh that doll from Life on Mars".

  2. I see Carole Hershee (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1282160.stm) has had the good sense to get far away from those disconcerting flames in the background! Very amusing.

    Here's a collection of nice 404 Pages. This post kind reminded me of this article.
