I've got a spec for ipv11. Why? Because it's one more than 10.

I've got a spec for IPv2. Because of advances in carrier grade NAT, we can reduce the address field from 32 bits to 16, making amazing savings somehow.

I think they are also riffing off the spinal tap scene, where he says "can't you just make 10 louder?".

I was mainly doing that, and more-obliquely making use of math/CS dork jokes like "1 + 1 = 3, for large values of 1".

Looked like they missed that their parent post was already doing that. As another poster points out: wooosh!

Can’t you just make the first post say “whoosh”, and have that be the post?
