The links on the 404 page bought me to some very nostalgic feeling pages. Very late-90s aesthetic. An MP3 directory index. A webcam with a frame that hasn't refreshed since 2009. I miss the old internet.

So many dead links... so many links going to AOL or CNN or domain-squatters. Heck a lot of links on the first page are empty.

On the flip side, like so many others here, I had a friend who went overboard with his. Automatic reloading systems, piezo trigger so you did not need lighters and such, scopes, automatic cutting devices for the spuds. He tore it apart after a spud went through both sides of a car (it was a junk car he was intending to shoot) and ended up "who knows where" on the other side.
