To be honest I've never even heard of the "Farmers Almanac", but its #2 on HN now. Am I the only one here?
I think people like the name because of nostalgia they can't connect to and the word Almanac reminding them of Back to the Future

People do know things other people do not. They are fairly notable, though obviously not as much in today's society, hence this one's retirement
