I'm nominating Re: Hide real IP, and many of the replies too. That thread is a great example of how an apparently useless root node can trigger the release of some great pent-up humour. -- I'd like to be able to assign to an luser	[reply]

Oh, definitely the Tattoo question response! As soon as I read the link in your node I immediately thought of the exact same one. It's certainly one of the funniest nodes I've come across on the site, ever. Of course, to enjoy it at its fullest, I find it helps to read the whole thread. And of course, geckosan's follow-up reply elsewhere in the thread is of merit too. - another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply]
