What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions - Randall Munroe, Wil Wheaton, John Murray Press

I'm enjoying this, but one drawback of listening to it rather than reading it is that, by the time Munroe has finished some of his answers, I've forgotten what the original questions were.

 

I'm also amazed that some of these questions have been asked by lots of people. Are there really that many people who've wondered whether we can destroy tropical cyclones by nuking them? Then again, this kind of thinking is why games like Goat Simulator are so fun, even if only for a little while. And in the games it doesn't matter if you accidentally destroy everything because you wanted to see if you could do that stupid thing you just thought of.
