A series of random questions with hyper-scientific answers from the author of XKCD comics

Super fun book. Fans of xkcd should read. I wish I hadn't read it straight through as it's a bit more of a coffee table book. But it's very funny and, at times, very interesting.

I enjoyed this one! I would say I would probably have better luck reading this one with a visual format, but the audiobook was still a great time!

Randall Munroe is a CNU graduate with a degree in physics who now draws webcoming online on a site called xkcd. Before starting xkcd, Munroe worked on robots at NASA’s Langley Research Center in Virginia.
In this book, there are many absurd questions which are asked by his followers that Randall attempts to answer, no matter how ridiculous. My favorite section is determining if you could make a jetpack out of automatic rifles (yes, according to his theories, you can). I had many laugh out loud moments with this book and the audio version is read by Wil Wheaton who should read all the science and geeky themed nonfictions.
