Getting Lost in the Interwebs? Keep it Fun.

It's no fun to get lost.
 
We all know those 404 errors all to well, when  you're looking for something and it's not there. Sure, it's a little depressing and frustrating -- but the whole situation can improve by providing the user - the navigator- something fun to find if they get lost.
 
It's very "little red riding hood" when she's lost in the woods and leaving bread crumbs to find her way home.
 
I found a pretty wonderful list of these bread crumbs that will take you home via the Huffington Post.
 
Favorites (See 'em live and in action):
1) Houston, we have a (404) Problem.
2) Blame an Employee for the issue.
3) A few post-it notes and a process map go a long way.
4) Blame a user (it's your fault!)
5) Play up on a popular reference.
