Are IP Addresses interesting?

In IPv4 land the answer is ....No .....

It should uniquely identify my host on a network.
But my IPv4 address location is not unique! I'm some highly anonymous proxy.

Then there must be something interesting if a series of mathematical, coincidental, pattern finding, psychometric and just plain silly tests are run on it.

Well okay there's something hapening here ...
IP Spotting Score

Well as you can see my score was "20" on such a test and of the 292195 IP's spotted so far, this was ranked: 47726.

Your IP address as a bitmapTry it yourself

But what happens with my IPv6 Address? Nothing on the IP Address Locator & IP spotting sites I'm afraid. But with such tools coverted to IPv6 what would we learn then?
