Relevent to this thread I think, something a lot of people don't know - you can represent an IP address with a base-10 number, so pinging 2130706433 pings 127.0.0.1

The Microsoft whois goes back to 1998 or so. Some people have just discovered it and have been raving about it on Twitter.

As someone said earlier today, these people will soon discover what happens when you type 5318008 on a calculator and then hold the display upside down.
