I wonder what happens when you ping 127.0.0.1... I never tried it :P
You ping your own machine.
I will exclude reserved addresses from the scan. This includes the entire 127.x.x.x range as well.
Make sure to exclude all IPs in the ranges listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4#Special-use_addresses

--- 127.0.0.1 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3000ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.026/0.039/0.044/0.008 ms
During that time, light have time to travel about 8-13 km (5-8 miles). Which is not quite enough to reach another computer, if you take in account the time the other computer takes to notice your ping and send a reply.
