It is much better than the regular 404 Error page with a sad face. Its a great innovative idea of Google Chrome Team to enhance its user experience.
It can be also perceived that we will be in dinosaur's age without Internet Connection.
Do you know the lawn outside Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California, is dominated by the imposing visage of “Stan”—tail thrashing, jaws agape, a full replica of the largest Tyrannosaurus rex fossil ever discovered. Stan mysteriously appeared on the lawn one morning several years ago, and is presumed by Google employees to have been a gift from the company’s quirky founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
