About this title:
- Length: 321 pages
- From the creator of the wildly popular webcomic xkcd, hilarious and informative answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask Millions of people visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe's iconic webcomic.
- His stick-figure drawings about science, technology, language, and love have an enormous, dedicated following, as do his deeply researched answers to his fans' strangest questions. The queries he receives range from merely odd to downright diabolical:
- What if I took a swim in a spent-nuclear-fuel pool?
- Could you build a jetpack using downward-firing machine guns?
- What if a Richter 15 earthquake hit New York City?
- Are fire tornadoes possible?
- His responses are masterpieces of clarity and wit, gleefully and accurately explaining everything from the relativistic effects of a baseball pitched at near the speed of light to the many horrible ways you could die while building a periodic table out of all the actual elements.
- Amazon Prime members can redeem their earned 'No Rush Shipping' credits on this purchase (check your balance).

Q: what would happen if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent the speed of light?
A: the answer turns out to be "a lot of things" and they all happen very quickly, and it doesn't end well for the batter (or the pitcher)....
Q: is it possible to build a jetpack using downward firing machine guns?
A: I was sort of surprised to find the answer was yes! But to really do it right, you'll want to talk to the Russians....
Q: when (if ever) did the sun finally set on the British Empire?
A: it hasn't. Yet. But only because if a few dozen people living in an area smaller than Disney World....

How about an audiobook version read by Wil Wheaton? That's the way I consumed this book and it was fantastic. Not sure what the discount is on the audiobook since I don't own the kindle version, but there usually is one if you do

Huh. Thanks for saving me $3 digital credits that'll anyway expire in a month.
