Apache folks, (sorry for the cross-posting)
Default 404 pages are boring. Let's face it.
We've all seen the "Error Message haiku" that were circulating the net a couple of years ago. These were funny, but not many were "web centric."
What I want to do is create a public-domain database of poignant, funny haiku appropriate for web server 404 pages, like:
Code:
You want that web page?
Like a pebble in a lake,
it is lost for now.
The idea being you randomly select a haiku when a user gets a 404. (Not an original idea, admittedly, but I don't think there is a good collection of web-centric haiku out there.) Humor always helps keep people on your site!
After an intial collection phase, I'll construct a voting option so that we can rate haiku submitted by others. I'll also make it possible to download/view them by rating, so we all can get the best ones.
Please take a minute and enter your best efforts at
