About Us:
Daily Traversal started out as a personal blog, but became something else, something... more. We post whatever kind of links grab our fancy, which tends to be entertaining web things, time wasters, bits of technology, and obligatory culture. We also don't moderate our content, pleasing only our selves, so DT should be considered NSFW if you work in that kind of place. If you'd like to send us a link or drop us a line, you can do so via our email address: DailyTraversal@gmail.com. Cheers!

A Brief Brief History of Time
Here is a summarization of Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time. It's pretty long even for the 2xBrief, but has gems like:
Newton: Haaaaaang on a minute. If I've got gravity holding shit together, I don't need Aristotle's crystal balls. This means that the stars might be, like, really far away. And, like, go on for ever.
Newton's flatmate: WTF d00d, stay off the wild mushrooms!
Newton: But, right, if they go on forever, then my shiny gravity means that the Universe will collapse under its own weight.
Newton's flatmate: Seriously, Isaac, no more opium on your cornflakes.
