IE www.gofuckyourself.com is 66.60.188.13

66 = 01000010
60 = 00111100
188 = 10111100
13 = 00001101

01000010001111001011110000001101

over to decimal = 1111276557

http://1111276557 is www.gofuckyourself.com ,
now mind you, THIS DOES NOT WORK on virtual hosts.
ONLY on dedicated hosts.

This method was first published in 2600 fall 2000 issue.
I first came across this several years ago. Someone had put up a page with JavaScript on it to do the conversions. Pretty cool
