I told Matt about the sign at 6:45EST. He saw a photo image on my webserver at 6:47:11. From there, it got viewed from:

It’s interesting to watch this circulate. With one seed, that makes 30 hits in 3.5 hours, most of which are still in New England. Oh, and what the hell is Wheaton doing with a class B network address space? 65536 IP addresses for a liberal arts college with a campus population of 2000? I only ever saw IP addresses being used in the 155.47.{20..39} range, so that makes about sixty thousand unused addresses. Weird.

Update: Haha. It got posted to the xadamx message board.

Update: … and The Hellbound Web.

Update: The sign was taken down sometime last night. It had almost one full day of prime placement in front of the starbucks on Montana. I’ll post pictures as soon as they are developed and organized.
