Evolutionary Suicide

I was reading the tragedy of the commons as part of the sustainability class, and came across the term evolutionary suicide. The concept is that adaptation at the individual level can lead to extinction of the entire population. Now, the last reference in the wikipedia article provides a very nice example of the same (possible example, of course)

Azimuthal Projections

I was following this really old debate on orkut about the UN flag, which is an Azimuthal projection of the world from the North Pole. The debate is whether this implies that the UN is biased towards the Northern Hemisphere over the Southern Hemisphere. The wikipedia link fro Azimuthal Projections is here.
