Where did you get that link? Was it one of the sample links? I don't think those are real links. But if you type in https://facebook.com and click "Make it look dodgy" it will give you a real link.

Edit: Although it appears Hacker News decided to mangle this link that I posted. Apparently it's not happy about mismatched parenthesis in links. Why HN wants to try to match parenthesis in links... that's a good question.

Markdown uses parenthesis? HN software parses markdown in comments to format them?

HN doesn't use Markdown, it has its own eccentric and much more limited markup system.
