It falls outside the assignable range of IPS, and by definition means your machine. Like the hostname 'localhost', it provides a simple loop-back connection to your machine thru the IP stack. So if you ping 127.0.0.1 (or localhost) you're pinging yourself. Hence could be construed as 'home'. I just sent off for the tshirt (also from thinkgeek.com). 127.0.0.1 is reserved IP address.

If you attempt to telnet, ftp, etc to 127.0.0.1, you are immediately connected to your own machine. localhost is another name for 127.0.0.1. Chuck, 127.0.0.1 is a loopback network connection.
