Description

Use a spreadsheet to plan the items needed for Joe’s birthday party. Can you set up a budget and make sure that you don’t spend too much money?

What If? (book) - Wikipedia

If you saved a whole life’s worth of kissing and used all that suction power on one single kiss, how much suction force would that single kiss have?

That tiny two-letter word…

Trying to thoroughly answer a stupid question can take you to some pretty interesting places.Randall Munroe, ex-NASA employee and author of the wildly popular webcomic XKCD, decides to look at several, undoubtedly, absurd questions and find scientific answers to them. If you are interested to know any of the answers to those questions, this book is for you! What made this so much fun, aside from the ridiculous questions, is Munroe's sense of humor. Several times I laughed out loud at his drawings and his answers, which is not something that usually happens when I'm reading about science. Oh, and be sure to read his footnotes, which have even more jokes. What would happen of everyone on Earth stood as close to each other as they could and jumped, everyone landing on the ground at the same time? Q. What would happen if you were to gather a mole (unit of measurement) of moles (the small furry critter) in one place?"

The creativity of some of these what ifs is absolutely wild. Worms with wheels?! I never wouldh ave imagined it. I am totally impressed. Except for my only negative of the book.stars for the extremely obscure Kyp Durron reference that only 1 out of every 100,000 people will get (or some other number that hasn't been pulled out of my ass) Munroe also interspersed "Weird (and worrying) questions from the what if? inbox. ...Honestly, most of these weren't any weirder than the questions he was already answering. And sometimes I think they only seemed weird, but I think he may have missed the trail. Plan the party for Joe’s birthday. How many people will he invite? What food / drink could he have? How much might it cost? Anyway, this book. This book is filled with drawings and explanations by Randall Munroe on topics as diverse as:
