I'm not exactly sure what that has to do with anything... but I liked it :)

Read aloud in film-noir-style narration this proved an amusing tale.

Nothing to do with HN, but I was standing in a museum gift shop (waiting for my family to finish pawing over gewgaws and gimcracks) and strangers were staring at me because I was giggling uncontrollably at my phone.

How embarrassing. Thank you :-)

For a more tech-related, but less amusing column, try:

but I prefer the _Creature from the Blue Volcano_

This article is an interesting read when people go on about cars driving themselves just like aircraft http://www.askthepilot.com/cockpit-claptrap/

Absolutely amazing storytelling. Gripping yet hilarious at the same time.

Nothing to do with HN, but I'm so happy I got to read this. Now I'm going to read his other stuff, brb... :)

I couldn't breath I was laughing so hard through this. Hilarious.

Patrick has been writing "Ask the Pilot" for years at Salon.

He's really interesting, and this is one of his best articles. If you fly a lot, I recommend looking up his Salon archives. He lives in Sommerville and used to host a yearly meetup to look at his photography- not sure if it's still alive...

Articles like this are a prime example of why HN should not be about just tech. Thank you for sharing. I hope nobody flags it.

Why is it a prime example of why HN should not be about just tech/entrepreneurialism? Because you found it entertaining?

Is HN the only web site we all have access to?

I like pictures of cats doing funny things, but that doesn't mean that HN is a good place to post links to them.

That was very poetic...

Try reading that and imagining it in the voice of the late Jean Shepherd. Priceless.
