Short made it they, so shall I: ” The History of the Universe in 200 Words or Less”:http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze3fs8i/hist/hist.html
Keep in mind: I haven’t actually read the whole darn thing so I can’t vouch for accuracy. One mention of “Religion” I saw. Looks like it fit in 2,000 years ago, hard to tell. Of course I can’t vouch for the earlier: “Photosynthetic unicellular organisms. Oxidation. Mutation. Natural selection and evolution. Respiration. Cell differentiation. Sexual reproduction. Fossilization. Land exploration. Dinosaur extinction. Mammal expansion. Glaciation. Homo sapiens manifestation.”
But hey, anything that short’s bound to have some errors creep in there, I mean it takes so long to go back and check your work… :-)
Supposedly based on the book “A Briefer History of Time“:http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze3fs8i/bhtes/ which, of course, I put on hold at the library! Looks humorous.
They may not use many words, but they certainly use large ones. That’s one big font size! You know, it’s rather sad when you link to a page that only contains 200 words and you haven’t even read them all…

Did you read them all? I read enough to get the gist. And they’re big in ways other than the font size! Besides, who wants to read a bunch of mostly one-word sentences…enough excuses yet? :-)

I read it, although I didn’t even try to figure out what some of the words meant. I found that I heartily disagreed with the summary though….
