I see what you did there. Nice.

Also, I had to look up "underpants gnome". For the other three of you who don't know what these are they feature in an early episode of South Park (which I thought I'd seen all of, but no). They steal underpants and use them to profit. Turns out they're also the originators of the "1. Something, 2. Something else, 3. ?????, 4. PROFIT!" meme that I've seen posted for the last 20 years, particularly on Slashdot in the early noughties, but never known where it came from.

Not something I expected to learn via HN but I suppose we are living in unusual times.
