It's by the guy who runs / draws xkcd.com web comics, and gives serious scientific answers to absurd hypothetical questions. For example: Is it possible to build a jetpack using downward firing machine guns?

Questions are weird like that, but the science is real, so an interesting read. Specially if you are a fan of xkcd.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I'm reading Goliath's Curse by Luke Kemp. It was released about a month ago but the premise is interesting. I learned about it from that Guardian article a couple months ago.

I hope you're enjoying What If?. Randall Munroe is a blast.

What If? is going pretty good.

Goliath's Curse sounds interesting.
