It's also a little known fact that in a lot of operating systems the whole 127.0.0.0/8 is mapped to the local machine. I was able to fool my pretty tech-savvy friend by telling him that my IP was 127.23.85.66 and he even asked why do I have a public FTP server (I didn't) so it definitely worked :).
