What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions
by Randall Munroe
Well, yet another time I wasn't aware of an amazing internet phenomenon. Consider me an XKCD convert after this! I'm terrible at math, and while I adore science I often feel like a lame observer. Munroe made me feel right at home with his well researched and excellently explained answers. I laughed out loud so many times I can't even count them. I also dug all of Munroe's geeky references (hello Kip Durran and the Star Crusher) which made me feel like an insider.
Also, Wil Wheaton should narrate ALL THE THINGS like this. A perfect voice talent who brought alive concepts that are difficult to fathom, with a irreverent hilarity I just am obsessed with. Bravo!
I will never ever be able to look at a mole the same ever again, or a speed bump. At least I know I'd live going over one faster than I'd think.
