Wasn’t even obvious to me, and I’m a programmer. But I caught the pattern of the numbers after scrolling through the categories a bit, and figured it out.

calcowgirl, ICMP type 3 packet for you, amusement more than data

I don’t feel so bad then because I’m just a point-and-clicker. I have figured out in the past though that I could get into FTP files and other areas of websites I wasn’t supposed to by cutting parts of URLs or trying a higher or lower number on the end than the one I had found some other way.

I do that to jump back in time. Every 1,000,000 digits in the URL is roughly a year.
I think 1,500,000 takes you back to 2003, and so on.

What is “ICMP type 3 packet”?
