Really cool 404 page on GitHub

Well I happened to stumble over this fancy shmancy 404 page today at GitHub, and I must say it is simplistic, yet VERY impressive (maybe its the whole starwars thing) but I really like the simple 3D effect that is created by using layered images. Try it yourself, go to:…
