From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   ICBM address n.   (Also `missile address') The form used to
   register a site with the Usenet mapping project, back before the day
   of pervasive Internet, included a blank for longitude and latitude,
   preferably to seconds-of-arc accuracy.   This was actually used for
   generating geographically-correct maps of Usenet links on a plotter;
   however, it became traditional to refer to this as one's `ICBM
   address' or `missile address', and some people include it in their
   {sig block} with that name.   (A real missile address would include
   target elevation.)
