Show HN: Really Good 404 Pages

URL: http://reallygood404.com/

I wanted to put together a showcase of some great 404 pages since there seem to be a lot of hidden gems. Would love feedback and other 404 pages that I haven't seen/found yet if people are willing to share.

I'm rather fond of the one at my employer's website: http://www.woodst.com/404

I, personally, like the 404 pages with missing kids on it. The only real purpose of the 404 page is to tell the user he messed up somehow; you might as well do some good with it.

Telling the user that "he/she" messed up is the best way to get them to abandon your website.

Clearly explaining that there was a problem, the problem has been sent to the appropriate individual, and guiding them to potential solutions is a better approach.

I remember seeing those, do you remember what site that was?
