While most of us are familiar with "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and most of us enjoy making silly jokes, this comment fits better at reddit than here.
I realize my comment was in wildly poor taste because Hacker News is an Extremely Serious site where only very serious people talk about very serious things. (For example, about how we are all going to get dollar-sign-lotto rich by working 18 hour days for startups).
But talking down to me and pretending to explain why it is a bad comment ('it fits better on reddit' doesn't tell me anything) will only cause me to become incensed at how unjust it is that a website called 'hacker news' is completely full of people with sticks shoved deeply up their asses.
This should read 'next to lab mice'
