invfish noted this here but nothing really came of it. Don't think it actually means anything now, personally.

I was reffering more to the web address that came up when it 404'd itself

http://www./Home/Homepage/fs/en

i think there may be some sort of code to it but im not sure.

Try entering any URL with a '?' in place of it's first letter. Watching the status bar suggests it does funny things to all addresses. That said, nothing quite this funny. I guess it's probably a meaningless peculiarity, but I still think it was worth posting.

As far as I know, the character ? is not valid inside the server part of the address. It is used to separate the actual address from the arguent (GET parameters for examples).
If you type www.?perplexcity.com, you are asking for the default page located on the server named "www.", with obviously doesn't exist.
So if you see something strange, it is most propably an artifact created by your browser or your FAI or a DNS server, I'm afraid. Some browser for example have auto-correction functionnalities built-in and activated by default.
I myseft get not 404 but "server not found".
This is therefore no code, and 100% OOG....IMHO
