Thanks, Shirtaday, for forcing us to head to Wikipedia two days in a row to try to understand your shirt. Although this "There's no place like 127.0.0.1" is a funny concept, it certainly isn't original.
In computing, within the context of a TCP/IP network such as the Internet, localhost is a reserved name meaning this computer. It is used where one would otherwise specify the name or address of a computer in the network. For example, directing a web browser to http://localhost will display the home page of the web site (if any) being served from the computer running the browser. Localhost always translates to the loopback IP address 127.0.0.1 in IPv4, or ::1 in IPv6.

Actually, I believe ThinkGeek has the copyright on this. They have been selling the same shirt for years. I saw a guy wearing it at the science museum a while back.

I wonder if that phrase is long enough to be copyrighted or if you would have to trademark it to protect it...
Thanks, anyway, for spotting that, vishneda, and congratulations on taking the lead today in the SoS Sad Rat Race.
