A few things in the article are Douglas Adams quotes, and more specifically from the Hitchhiker’s Guide series.

Creating the universe being regarded as a mistake and making many unhappy is from those books. Whenever someone figures out the universe it gets replaced with something stranger and having evidence that’s happened repeatedly is too. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is reference in the article.

I’m a bit surprised nothing in the article was mentioned as being “mostly harmless”.

One of these days I’ll figure out how to throw myself at the ground and miss.
