Philosophy
I don't know if you've been paying attention, but a lot of stuff has been happening lately, and by lately I mean roughly the past fourteen and a half billion years. If you don't have the time to sit down and read Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything or some such lengthy equivalent, here is an awesome flipbook designed to bring you up to speed in just three minutes of animated fun :)
If you haven't satisfied your hunger for flipbook awesomeness, have fun watching three-dimensional mathematical motion.
And if you're still craving animated histories, check out a short but hilarious history of guns in America :)
