That’s a variation on extreme ironing, “an extreme sport in which people take ironing boards to remote locations and iron items of clothing. According to the Extreme Ironing Bureau, extreme ironing is "the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ironing)

I'd say an extreme variation of it ;)
I correctly realized they were talking about an animal, but I'd misread it as "moose", and the mental image I had developed on the way to clicking through to the article was thus not accurate.
Same here, I guess I need to disconnect a little bit..
I'm just sad it wasn't a trackpad. I'd have kicked it into the volcano.
I assumed the animal, but expected the record to be in the category of "size of testicles".
I think reading the title on HN made me think it was the computer peripheal and not the animal...
I didn't know why a mouse on a volcano would break some kind of record, and as my brain rapid fired possible parses to the sentence it did occur to me that this is a technology board and it could be a computer mouse. Neither one seemed more feasible for world records at face value.
