FYI, common usage of the expression "put something out of its misery" means
to end the misery by ending the things life! E.g. shoot a horse with a
broken leg, or throw out a half-working computer. I don't think that's what
you had in mind, but the packet of death will be arriving shortly ;-)

333 and 444 don't fit in an 8 bit integer, so they are impossible. The
private nets like 10.0.0.0 are good for examples, since people using them
instead of the actual numbers won't break the internet :)
Today's lesson has been brought to you by Mr. Pedant. :)
