Links for 05/06/07

  • The Explainer explain why mafia hitmen abandon their weapons at the scene of the crime.
  • An animated map showing the paths of human migration and settlement over the last 160,000 years. Much more complex and counter-intuitive than I expected. Not sure how robust all the data are.
  • Must know terms for the 21st century, an excellent list of concepts that preoccupy modern futurologists. (via).
  • Book of the month? Naked Girls Smoking Weed. NSFW, and therefore probably NSFCT (coffee table).
  • Two portmanteaus are my Words of the Day: talibangelist and isobarbarian. The latter is a Johnathan Meades neologism to describe angry weather fronts.
