So wild, I googled this exact thing yesterday and got to the same stackoverflow post. And now it's on the first page of HN.

  This has happened to me a few times with HN. I suspect HN is really run by a hyper-intelligent A.I. which is guiding us all to a brighter future.

    You're discounting billions of people to whom this didn't happen, because of which they didn't make a HN comment about it.

        https://xkcd.com/196/ https://xkcd.com/196/ feels more appropriate in this thread.

      No he’s not. He’s speaking entirely about the one person who did do this thing

        That's another way of expressing exactly the same cognitive bias.

    Nah someone with Wikipedia database access probably looks for obscure article hits and submits them to HN for the karma.
