I was looking through http://torstatus.blutmagie.de and I find it most interesting that so many exit nodes are located at Absecon, New Jersey. 

These are:

3VXRyxz67OeRoqHn - li231-44.members.linode.com - 173.255.221.44
agnodicelabnet1 - tor-exit-2.lab.net - 173.255.238.178
colagioia - tor.colagioia.net - 72.14.179.10
gribule - gribule.nick.on.net - 72.14.189.49
ErecTor - li90-241.members.linode.com - 74.207.248.241
hypatialabnet1 - tor-exit-1.lab.net - 173.255.211.187

PIis3141592 - tor-proxy.l.egofuzzer.net - 173.255.212.184

Accoring to Wikipedia Absecon has a population of under 10,000 people.

Does anyone know why there is such a concentration of nodes in this one small place?
