  As noted elsewhere in the thread, this is a pretty direct play off Marvin from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. A lot of people are going to find an Easter egg entertaining, especially this late on a weekend (maybe you're on the East side of the planet?) If you want, we could talk about the social ramifications of allowing a web server to have a GPP, but it's late, and your comment has made me depressed. If only there was an elevator nearby...

    The reference is unmistakable for anyone who's read the book. It's mostly harmless, but I would have thought that such an unoriginal, derivative piece of writing would be upvoted on HN much in the same way that bricks aren't.

      So you did think it would be upvoted? Make up your minds :)
