In accordance with Jeff's discussion. Currently Area 51 shows the SO-404.

Edit I put a bounty on this to motivate suggestions. Please note however that the accepted answer will not necessarily be implemented since I have no saying on that. But still, you get 100 rep.

  • The links on PageNotFound have been cleaned up so they're not broken any more. We'll monitor this question and be on the general lookout for a new hilarious picture for our 404 :)

  • Crap. Can't find a high res Lazlo Hollyfeld picture. Isn't he the one who came up with the site?

  • At least they are constant with Area 51 in doing their own thing without caring about community suggestions :-]

  • How about using the 'case of the mondays' image. That'll scare any would-be trespassers away.

    Yes, because with a photo of the actual "Area 51", you won't have any problem with the authorities :-]

"When you searched for this site, there was no 404, but you spent a nice time in Roswell, New Mexico"

"The page you were looking for is not here. You haven't seen a 404. In fact, there is no area51. You have spent all day at stackoverflow"

    Note sure how we are doing with rights, though, for such kind of image.

  • @gnoupi good question, maybe we could find a similar one that is freely available as promotional material

    A way to solve the "rights" issue would be to have Jeff and Joel (or Robert) act the first photo in person :-] With the suits, glasses and all that.

    @David - get Jeff and Joel together (or another couple of developers, for example), and act it? :)
