that error is fake! 10.0.0.242 is internal services DNS server and is not used to serve en.wikipedia.org - dberror log does not have a single instance of it! 10.0.6.42 on the other hand....
the incident yesterday was network card drivers / linux / network cards being stupid to interface going down/up - we saw some isolated issues similar to that in the past, unfortunately that knocked out all databases and they all needed serial console intervention.

I would have thought the fact that it was hand drawn would have given it away.

But in this particular case hand drawn doesn't mean facts can slip. At least these drawings are usually extremely precise. (You can see which pulldowns he usually keep open. :-))
I second Domas to check because there may be a super secret conspiracy and the drawing may be correct. ;-)

Well, in fact, Randall's pretty good about the details (vis 2000 people showing up in a park in Cambridge just because he put an undesignated time and lat/lon in a strip)...

Randall: " I drew it based on an older error message where the IP was 10.0.0.243. I changed it to 242 (a) because I try not to get too specific with those things, and didn't want people poking the actual machine at .243 (if it was still there) -- I actually considered putting .276 and seeing how many poeple noticed, but figured they'd just think I made a dumb mistake. and (b) as part of this ancient inside joke involving the number 242 ... "
Funny though, it caused way more confusion with .242, as we have random stuff pointing at it ;-) .243 was enwiki database box until July 2008;-)

Nice way to see that first sentences eventually lead to a general quantity or property which links to [[property (phylosophy)]] which links to Philosophy itself. So far I didn't see a way which wasn't following 'property'.

This is also true. I came from Groom Range to Philosophy.

No, it's not. The exceptions may be rare, but they do exist. My third attempt was "Masquerade (theatre group)", which quicklyl ended up in a loop of "Renaming of cities in India" and "Mumbai". "Philosophy" itself has "Reason" and "Rationality" as the other members of its loop.
