Five error pages you would be happy to land on

If only web designers could make all of life's annoyances this enjoyable.
Clicking on a broken link or 

stumbling on a deleted page can irk even the most composed web surfers. But thanks to the work of a few clever web designers, landing on a 404 error page can turn the disappointment into a humorous inconvenience.
During the Federal Election, Jack Layton and the NDP used their online glitches as a friendly reminder of the state of Canadian politics.
Chuck Norris jokes are some of the funniest out there, and this is one error page that's almost worthy of a screensaver. The caption underneath reads "we actually know where the page is, Chuck Norris has it, and he decided to keep it."
You may or may not be a fan of J.J. Abrams' "Lost," but those who are would surely get a kick out of finding a broken link onbluedaniel.com.
It may not be as cool as actually having "sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their frickin' heads," but the Austin Powers reference in the sharks error page is good for a laugh.
And though the final error message plays with one of the most overused quotes from Star Wars, it's still much more enjoyable than your typical 404 page.
