The Interweb is a Series of TubesI saw that on HackerNews a few days (weeks?) ago. It's definitely clever.
Try telnet'ing into towel.blinkenlights.nl
Enjoy!

Joliet JakeWhen I paste that command in prompt it gives me 10 Ip's and then "request timed out". But I googled what it does. I'm disappointed that I cannot make it work. Humph.
... And they had 'The Empire Strikes Back', the fifth of the four Star Wars films. He is fucking with us numerically, isn't he! "Children, count up to ten." "Four, five, six, one, two, three, ten". No, it goes, four, five, six, one, two, three… No, it goes: four, five, six. One... Two and three have not been made." "Two and three have not been made! What should they be?" "What should they be? We do not know. All we know is that there will be a big floppy character in it that goes, squawk squawk squawk... who needs a punch up the bracket!"

Try this:
tracert -w 900 -h 80 216.81.59.173

Nope. More "timed out" messages, and nothing after that. Could it be because I'm behind a router?

legendary but little-known Jedi MasterThe telnet thing was very cool, but the traceroute didn't work for me. Is it because my isp limited the hops to 30?

legendary but little-known Jedi MasterOK - my problem wasn't the limit on # of hops, but that for some reason my isp defaulted traceroute to showing the numbers rather than the names. Tried it on a different server and it worked.
