36USC220506

What the smeg does 36USC220506 mean? It's showing up all over the place on corporate Web sites and in TV commercials. It's not a citation of the US Code; there's no section 506 in 36 USC 22, nor is there a chapter 220 in title 36 of the Code.

It seems to occur frequently on sites which also display the Olympic rings, but not always; and I can't find any reference to the number either on the US Olympic Committee or the International Olympics sites. And Google only turns up pages that display the cryptic sequence.

I've got a theory: it could be bunnies.
