Warning: That 2004 webpage on how to build a potato cannon is still exactly the same

I found a bookmark from 2004 for a site called 'Spudzooka Central' that had step-by-step instructions with ASCII diagrams, and I checked it last night and it hasn't changed a pixel in 21 years. Even the broken image links are the same. Has anyone else found a truly ancient bookmark that just refuses to die or update?

My buddy found his old Neopets bookmark from 2003 and it still works. The page had a bright yellow background with a dancing Blumaroo GIF that never loaded right. He said the pet his 9 year old self made was still there, just sitting in some virtual desert with no food.

Whoa wait, hold on... that thing just sat there in the desert this whole time without food? For like 20 years? That's kind of dark if you think about it... just slowly starving in a pixelated wasteland while your buddy grew up and forgot all about it. I swear those old Neopets had some serious neglect issues, I remember coming back to mine and finding it all sad with flies buzzing around it. The fact that the page still works is the real shocker though, half those old GeoCities sites are long gone.
