Hacker News Reader

There are two kinds of popular reposts in the world.

Most are Type 1, which is "meh, this again" followed by a scroll away.

This is an excellent example of Type 2, which is "Oh boy! I get to read this again!"

(See also: the SR71 speed check story; the story of Mel, the Real Programmer; etc.)

I'd like to add the "We can't send mail more than 500 miles" story to that list: https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles

OH, absolutely. That's another gem!

Ah, the SR-71 was new to me, thank you!
