Bad Sample of a "broken link" page

Our apologies, the page you requested can not be displayed

Possible causes:
  • make sure that you typed the page name correctly ....
  • if you followed a link, there may be a problem with that link ... you can report a broken link below ....
  • you can use our site's search function ....

However

So, in the end, the point of the apology page seems to be to keep the site user occupied while the site maintainers try to fix things up again by applying a bit of duct tape and chicken wire.

The 404 page at ibiblio at least makes an attempt to entertain the victim.
