Michael Haines (probably inspired by my data center design and recent tweet) sent me the best traceroute hint I've ever seen. Do traceroute obiwan.scrye.net and you'll see something like this:

$ traceroute obiwan.scrye.net

2013-10-27: Nick B. shared another easter egg: if you do IPv6 traceroute, you get the Episode 6 opening crawl mixed with a pinch of Monty Python and CCIE Prince of Bel Air. Really nice.
