This is a beautiful post psulli. Have you seen this TED Talk about the encyclopedia game? It's something we could play here on Hubski. We should try using Wikipedia. The game is easy, you read a wikipedia post until you find something you didn't know and then link to that Wikipedia post and you keep continuing.... I'll start it off with a topic: Taiwan. Your challenge (or anyone else that is interested), should you accept is to read this Wiki post until you get to something you didn't know and then post here and we can continuously learn our way through wikipedia. Or we can take this show elsewhere and make a new post so as not to disturb the beauty of this one.
