could you be more specific? Why is this junk? Why doesn't it belong on HN?

  There’s no article, nothing new or technically interesting, nothing to even read. It’s a solicitation of anecdotes to be used by a news outlet. It’s clearly off topic according to HN guidelines: On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity. Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
