Interesting Internet prank...

I just ran into this prank.  What was impressive was that it was done at the TCP / network level by a bunch of bored geeks.  I am sure the number of machines and network ports involved would have been interesting to know. 

If you are on a windows machine try doing this

tracert -h 100 216.81.59.173

If you are a diehard linux fan. try this one

tracert -m 100  216.81.59.173

Wait for a few minutes and watch the fun :)
