If you know anyone from India, they may be good at pole wrestling.
('Mallakhamb' is actually quite impressing; the name of the sport translates directly to 'pole wrestling'.)

Of course you aren't because Polish is not a race.

How many pole dancers does it take to change a light bulb? The answer is no one knows, because the people who were supposed to be counting kept getting distracted.

Append ".ipaddress.com" to any domain name, and depending on the site, you get a bunch of information. Mainly useless information that you can't get anywhere else, but there's something creepy about adding ".ipaddress.com" to any domain name.
For example: codeproject.com.ipaddress.com[^]

Basically, appending "abc.com" to any domain name causes the DNS to resolve "abc.com" first, and the rest becomes a subdomain - which the IPaddress domain uses to ID the domain you want to know about.
That's no more creepy than appending my landline number to your mobile number: the telephone system would ring my number and I'd pick up your mobile from the remaining tones (assuming I answered in time).
Handy, if you want the public info on a site : the visitor percentages by country are interesting!

I guess the creepyness lies in the amount of details about the CP traffic that is collected and presented by this "service".

It's all public - there are a number of people who provide it, if the domain is ranked high enough: internet site traffic statistics - Google Search[^]
(My domain just gets host location and so forth, which surprises me not at all  )

The biggest surprise when I put mine in was that sometime in the last few years my hosting company apparently switched from LightSpeed HTTPD to Apache. Doesn't affect anything I do, on the web end I've never used it as more than a file share; the account primarily exists to let me run a bouncer for my IRC connection with bottom tier shared hosting as a dirt cheap addon.
If I were to do anything serious with it I'd switch to .net hosting of some sort; but I don't think I've even got a line of javascript on it currently never mind php or whatever penguin stack the hosting company installed in its default deploy.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Really? I would assume that the phone system would dial the first 10 digits and ignore the rest. For example, dialing 1-87-SPEEDPASS would only acknowledge 1-87-SPEEDPA and ignore the last two SS.
Or maybe I completely misunderstood your comment.

well yeah, as OG mentioned he'd hear the tones "if picked up hast enough" - probably would miss almost all of it unless you have superhuman reflexes and the exchange links the connections fast enough. (i.e. those tones would be sent during the ringing time)
same as if you dial someone and while talking to them start pressing the number buttons - you hear the button tones. (think helplines: "press '1' for English, '2' for Chinese ... '9' for go away")
but even helplines would miss the first numbers if appended to the dialed phone number (before pressing call) ...the exchange end-to-end connection completion on receiving party pickup takes a while, even the new exchanges there's still some milliseconds in there.

International dialling uses more than the 10 digits used in the US. For example, to dial an international number, I have to dial an international access code (2-3 digits), the country code (1-3 digits), an the national number (7-10 digits), for a total of 10-16 digits.

I wondered about that, but just wasn't sure.
