Wow, these aren't real? -- Why I won't be your technical co-founder -- How to design a CAPTCHA -- Why I do not want to work for Google -- The end of the web as we know it -- Show HN: I'm working on an HTML5 game.

I was inspired by this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6813162 I find that lookback of 2 generally creates more entertaining titles. Lookback of 3 usually seems to just splice together two titles (which can be hilarious, and is usually more grammatically correct), and lookback of 1 tends to generate more nonsense. Some fun ones I found just now: The Neuroscientist Who Discovered He Was a Teenage Hacker H…
