Gee, I wonder what those mice will be doing tonight.

Pinky and the Brain reference.

"Pinky: Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight? Brain: The same thing we do every night, Pinky - try to take over the world"

Pinky and Brain are genetically enhanced laboratory mice. In each episode, Brain devises a new plan to take over the world which ultimately ends in failure

It may sound weird to some, but this is the first time I learned about those characters. I wanted to point this out in oder to stress the usefulness of the comment I am replying to.

Unless there's something special about today's date, I imagine they'll be doing the same thing they do every night.

Are they pondering what we're pondering?

Normally I find jokes on HN to be a bit distasteful due to the manner in which discussions are typically conducted here, but this brought me a smile. :)

That cartoon feels like it was from so long ago... Does getting this reference make any of you that also happened to watch during its original airing feel old?
