What a fun read! A treat for all xkcd fans.
Science and humor for the win. Stick figures, giraffes, yoda, and explosions. Obviously, if you like xkcd, you'll like this.

I just finished this wonderfully quirky and informative book. It was a delightful romp into the realm of "what Ifs?" The author presented scientific logic and arguments to explain some of the craziest scenarios. He also had funny cartoons sprinkled through his scientific equations to keep things light and interesting. This books belongs on a coffee table for random perusal or bring it along on a long car trip. It makes great fodder for fascinating discussions.
