It doesn't end at Wikipedia, but too often I find I'm in the habit of finding one source for the information I want and not digging further.
The Internet Archive is a site "with the purpose of offering permanent access for researchers, historians, and scholars to historical collections that exist in digital format.". It kind of recalls the ideals of the internet, doesn't it? Link here: http://www.archive.org/index.php

This is a rather interesting flash video/animation that seeks to explain those dimensions above 4, specifically all the way up to 10.

Somedays thinking above 2 is tough enough. On that note, perhaps follow this link to learn a little about the classic novel "Flatland" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatland.

And sorry, this is just so fitting I couldn't leave it to be randomly generated with the quotes above:
"Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money and control credit, and with a flick of a pen they will create enough to buy it back."
- Sir Josiah Stamp, former President, Bank of England

There's been a lot of press lately about the banking collapse in the US. Since everyone is aware of it I'd thought I'd post a couple of links on that theme today, the first link explains how it all came to pass: The Subprime Primer. And the second video shows a rather intelligent response to the planned bailout:
Of course, it's could only happen in the US, right? Lol. Think again. Firstly realize that Canadian banks have remained conspiciously silent on the topic - they have rules of non-disclosure, so don't have to tell us how deeply they're in this mess together. But try and figure out how within the past 10 years house prices have went up by a factor of 5 and more times. And figure out where all these home buyers got their money. Are you earning 5 times what you were 10 years ago?
