Weekly Links - 4/20/2008

Written by sean on April 20, 2008 – 6:52 pm -

I’ve decided to move the links to the weekdays.  Weekends are just two hard to post since I’ve been so busy.  I’m going to try to keep them to fridays unless I have a full week of posts.  Here’s the links:

  • The Natural World : Tigerland - On the border of Bangladesh and India is a huge mangrove swamp.  Sharks, snakes and crocodiles patrol the water, but the land is ruled by the Royal Bengal Tiger.  This is the story of the land and the people who live there.  A fascinating read from the New Yorker.
  • The Eligible Bachelor Paradox - How game theory predicts that less desirable men are available as we age.  Worked for me :)
  • The Marathon Is Easy, There Are No Lions - Six Masai warriors run in the London Marathon to race money for a well.  Right now “We have a dam that we share with wild animals so every morning the children go to get water, it’s dangerous for them. Some have lost their lives. Next week we will drill and get clean water for the top life.”
