League of Nations? Really?

It seems to be way too focused on the 20th century. I mean 3 of 200 words dedicated to the League of Nations? That just seems to be out of all reasonable scale and proportion to me. Wasn’t that just a failed blip on the face of the globe? And while I’m at it, “Taxation without representation?” Really, isn’t that implied with the much simplified “revolution”? They may as well toss in some reference to the articles of confederation or how about getting all international and mentioning the Renaissance or something.
Still, The History of the Universe in 200 Words or Less makes for some interesting reading. And, I must say that this weekend, I could go with a little “violent relaxation” myself.
By the way, if any science geeks happen by and want to explain what “density perturbations” refers to, I’d be much obliged. (via Incoming Signals)
