What about 404? 404 is the number assigned to the error message by MS Internet Explorer for “File Not Found.” It has entered the modern language as slang for “clueless.” As in, “That new intern in accounting is 404.”

404 is also the area code for Atlanta. Kinda fitting.

Actually it's not assigned by IE, it's from the server. The first 4 means it's a client side error and 04 is the message number (not found).

KK, back to the silliness.
