The ultimate wiki-ish entry (and a bit about smurfs)

Just wanted to pass on two pieces, the SCQ has been lucky enough to present. They are:

THE WIKI HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE IN 200 WORDS OR LESS

and

TRAGEDY OF THE COMMONS EXPLAINED WITH SMURFS

The history piece in particular was done by none other than Eric Schulman, who was responsible for "A Briefer History of Time." Both are definitely worth checking out.
