It's a classic Warcraft 2 reference, with all the humor that implies.  It's supposed to be light-hearted and funny.

I find a very genuine and kind humor in the juxtaposition of acting the role of the humble lab assistant or the surf in

As it is I'm 100% for following Walter's suggestion as it's a good one. :)
