For coolness factor, it's hard to beat the TCP-over-email
proof-of-concept I ran across about ten or twelve years ago. Mostly
useless, but very entertaining. It was probably the one done by Marcus
Ranum http://www.ranum.com/, but I don't really remember.

And then there is RFC 1149: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1149, which
according to Wikipedia, has actually been implemented by a Linux group
who apparently were having a slow weekend.
