Back in university, some students (or was it only one?) put lots of effort into making a thing of the "Rautavistic University of Eschweilerhof". At that time, Eschweilerhof in Germany had only a population of 70 (now, its more like 71) and definitely had nothing that resembled a physical university. However, they wanted to come as close as possible to a real university and obviously having a web page was part of it: http://www.uni-eschweilerhof.de/ (in German).

I have just visited this URL for the first time in 20 years and it's gorgeous.

A friend and i did something similar! We set up a website for "${our_village} Metropolitan University", despite our village not being a metropolis and not having a university (a slightly deeper joke is that this form of name is usually used for ex-polytechnics in the UK, often in random places, and often not very good). When we wanted to make a webpage about some random topic, as one did back then, we'd make up a department for it. I remember we put all our computer programming stuff in the Poetry Department.

The 404 page is great
