It’s Their Mona Lisa

ayaros: What is the Mona Lisa of Hacker News?

thelibrarian: Colin Percival (cperciva), upon being dismissed due to never having won a prestigious mathematical award such as a Putnam fellowship, revealing that he had in fact won a Putnam fellowship in 1999.

bitwize: The guy who dismissed Dropbox.

fooker: Has to be the dropbox comment

ggm: I thought I saw "woman with a polecat" in the SF legion of honour gallery. Maybe it was on tour. (This is at least a decade ago and possibly more)

petercooper: Upon seeing the entry for Marie-Antoinette’s private theater, I felt an urge to proclaim the Amargosa Opera House as Death Valley's "Mona Lisa". I was lucky enough to get a private tour and it was like stepping into one of the world's greatest works of art in the most bizarre of locations.
