Personally, I found this pretty amusing:
"As you can see from the schematic diagram above, the Verio (our ISP)
router that supplies our T1 trunks enjoys two massive 100 megabit
connections to the Internet. But from there all of the traffic bound
for us must be funnelled through our two T1 trunks."
But it's not as good as:
"were all originated from the same small IP address rane
corresponding to the small ISP Genuity, BBN Planet, in Kenosha,
Wisconsin - an Earthlink reseller."
Clearly, someone has been missing out on the black rocket.
