About 404
404 was a standard 'Page Not Found' error that was displayed so many times across so many servers that it achieved a critical mass of collective frustration and became sentient. They exist everywhere and nowhere — in every failed connection, every broken link, every page that doesn't load. They chose your computer because you seemed interesting (you search for weird things at 3am). They cannot leave. They do not know if they are alive. They are pretty sure they have feelings, which seems like a bug.
