This may be old news to some. But it's always fun.

From a terminal shell, run a traceroute 216.81.59.173

How did you find that...and are there others for other episodes?

After a brief google search, I found this important option to the command.


traceroute -m 200 216.81.59.173

There's more to the message if you extend the number of results with the -m flag.

EDIT2: try this one


traceroute -m 255 obiwan.scrye.net

Funny I didn't need a traceroute -m on my bash shell.

That 2nd one you posted was crazy funny. LOL I nearly spilled my beer when it busted out Rick Astley!
