Can Serial.print display a memory address

I always wondered about this as well. I always used basically @jremington 's solution but never trusted the answer. Now I tried both of yours, same answer but, both came out 2298

How can this be when a UNO only has 2k of RAM?

Well I tried this..

void setup() {
  int i = 25;
  int j = 32;
  int* iPoint;
  int* jPoint;
  Serial.begin (9600);
  iPoint = &i;                         // set the pointer to the address of i
  jPoint = &j;                         // set the pointer to the address of j
  Serial.println();
  Serial.println((unsigned int)iPoint);  // try to print the address of i
  Serial.println((unsigned int)jPoint);
}

void loop() {
}

And got..
2298
2296

Jumps 2 bytes. That makes sense. Maybe the UNO has a little more than 2K RAM. And they ain't telling us?
