[nycbug-talk] this could be a complete hoax, but. . .

[George R.]

A slashdot story about a disgruntled IRC'er who demands the admin's IP  
to attack him. . .

He gives 127.0.0.1, and the attacker proceeds.

It's gotta be a complete joke, but it's still very funny:

http://slashdot.org/comments.pl? 
sid=147501&threshold=1&commentsort=0&tid=133&tid=172&mode=thread&cid=123 
57985

There are some dangerous people in the world, especially to localhost.
