404 pages: the overlooked rulers of the internet

As my first official post, I thought I'd dedicate my custom-built 404 page.
But first, a bit about what a 404 page is:
    Unless you've gotten really lucky or have never been on the internet before this, you've probably been to a 404. Basically, whenever you request a webpage URL which doesn't really exist on the server, the server has to send you somewhere so it sends you to this sad, universal page for lost internet dreams.
    So why the specific number "404"? Well, It was basically what the bunch of nerds at the invention of the internet decided it would be. Not satisfied with that answer? Alright here goes the boring in-depth explanation:
First: "4" refers to a client error... basically the server is telling you that you made the mistake, not it.
Second: The "0" indicates a syntax error... "you spelled it wrong!"
Finally, the "4" was the next available number they had in the category when they thought up this error so that's what it became.
    So... why did I title this post "the overlooked rulers of the internet"?
It's really quite simple: if you take all the possible web pages on a site (hint: infinite), and compare to the ones which actually lead to a legit page, you begin to see how many more 404 pages there are than regular pages, and how they rule most of the internet even though they are rarely visited and often overlooked.
    Next time you're on a website and get bored, just type in some random stuff after the URL (after the slash) and see what happens... If the developers are cool, they'll have a fun 404 page.
Here's some funny examples the first of which inspired my own (click this)
