I raise you ...

    $ ping 0
    PING 0 (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
Note that this may default to 0.0.0.0 instead depending on what you're running, which is technically the correct interpretation. I'm not sure who is doing the shenanigans here.

Touche!

All zeros is self, which is to say generally the same as 127.1.
