Based solely on seeing this title scroll by on HN, I was so hoping this was going to be a piece about Roswell...


My guess was Orcas or another intelligent animal. Kind of a shame because the content of the article is good but you'd have no idea what it is about by the title.


I was half-expecting something about the questionably-legal limbo of Guantanamo detainees.


I was fearing it would be a piece about Body Thetans.
