This is the fourth time a story about Null Island has frontpaged on HN alone, so it's not as if it's a particularly unusual or unique topic to write an article about. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=null%20island&sort=byPopularity&prefix&page=0&dateRange=all&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?query=null%20island&sort=byPopularit... I'd bucket it as one of a standard set of "quirky" subjects that get covered again and again on slow news days.
