Randall: " I drew it based on an older error message where the IP was 
10.0.0.243.  I changed it to 242 (a) because I try not to get too specific with 
those things, and didn't want people poking the actual machine at .243 (if it 
was still there) -- I actually considered putting .276 and seeing how many 
poeple noticed, but figured they'd just think I made a dumb mistake.  and (b) 
as part of this ancient inside joke involving the number 242 ... "

Funny though, it caused way more confusion with .242, as we have random stuff 
pointing at it ;-)
.243 was enwiki database box until July 2008;-)
