The joke is that XKCD #404 is a literal HTTP 404 error.

https://xkcd.com/242/At D&D last night we were playing a module with an orb on a pedestal that shocked you if you touched it with anything more than single finger. The blue dragonborn touched it about 5 times, taking (half) lightning damage each time. Apparently he was a scientist this whole time.

So, one day my college group is doing a dungeon. In the middle of the dungeon there's this [giant ass bell.](https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExZHNnb3QzbGkyeHc5bHRoOGYzamxic3RqZWxrdXRpdWI0NWhvM3I4NSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw/IDGNYvFLkJKLK/giphy.gif) Don't ring it. We're not ringing the bell. We get through the dungeon, we succeeded, everyone is giving props... and one of our guys "I ring the bell." I forget exactly what all hell it spawned, but it was nearly a party wipe. The next year we as a group we go to the local renaissance fair. They had one of the things where if you pay them, a group of guards with halberds will follow you, arrest a friend, bring them back to a cage where they have to do something stupid to get out. They wouldn't go into stores because they didn't want to interrupt selling, but they'd wait outside and you pat the shoulder of the person you're wanting arrested. They even had a checklist of "crimes" they committed. I checked EVERY crime naturally... and at the end there was the other... So I find my friend in a store, walk in, hand on shoulder asking if he found anything, nope, okay, wander on. Then as he steps out the guards are there "*FRIENDS NAME* By the Royal Decree of his Majesty you are under arrest!" and surround him on all four sides and walk him back. The whole time he is *CONFUSED* as are the rest of my friends. There's a lot of "what is going on?" When he gets to the cage and they put him inside, the herald there then reads off the list of his crimes. It was a list... and the whole time my friend was so confused... right until the end "And for ringing the damned bell!" The expression he gave me along with the "YOU!" when he heard it is the sort of thing that soothes my soul every time I remember it.

Fuck that, own your freak! Next time call it out in your best Palpatine impression. Those who get weirded out weren't worth caring about and you never know what other awesome folks you'll see. Make your day and someone elses <3
