Has anyone played with traceroute?

On *nix/mac systems in a 'DOS' box type "traceroute bad.horse"

On a windows system, in a DOS box type "tracert bad.horse"

enjoy.
 
It traces the route IP packets take to get between your machine and the named machine.

But if you run the example given above you get a surprising result that will make you laugh.
Why not just save us the bother and post the output, if you think it's that amusing!
 
No wonder the internet gets so blooming slow when people set up long routes around many computers and tie up IP addresses just to produce this. Life's too short - and I'm not going to get back the time I've just wasted. Ho, hum!
