According to Verge, anyway. Since horse is a popular TLD around the Mediocre farms, I thought I'd mention it here. There's a preview on that Verge page if you're just a little curious. (No one's judging.)

I don't know what a traceroute is, but I do know that bad.horse has a Dr. Terrible singalong with NPH

I thought this was a good laugh (and not really true), but then I did the traceroute and it really does do that. Makes it even better that it's true.
