Summary: A blogger analyzed Wikipedia's least viewed articles, finding that obscure moth species and small towns in Iran and Sri Lanka dominate the list.

Nakatomi Space
Summary: Nakatomi Space explores the concept of bending architectural space to one's navigational needs, as depicted in the film Die Hard. The protagonist, John McClane, moves through a high-rise building in unconventional ways, using elevator shafts, air ducts, and creating new pathways. This concept is compared to the Israeli Defense Forces' technique of "walking through walls" during urban warfare.
