        I recommend (if we are going down the path of being pirates...)
        77.0.0.0/8  - only 0x1.net is in that space as far as I can tell
        and its easy enough to put them behind a NAT...

        NOTE WELL - Just because -you- (for values of you) see no value in
        space assigned, does NOT give you the right to hijack said space
        for your own purposes.   Nor does it look well  for you to advocate
        hijacking someone elses space....

        YMMV of course.
