Build creative Not found/404 pages(a.k.a Easter Eggs)

Remember that time you opened a link online and it showed up a broken page? What you got to see was most likely a web page with a bunch of messy code, that looked like a hacker is trying to break into your PC, or it looked like someone has really messed up the website design?

In the recent years it has become popular to create a funny and creative 404/Not Found pages. So when users go to a non-existing page, instead of showing a web page that looks like a literal headache, one would show a creative & funny message instead.
