Movie Favorite

"I just love that movie so much. It’s just so well-written. It’s so funny and tragic at the same time. I just feel like it’s so poignant about marriage — I mean, not that I know from experience. [laughs] I’ve never been married. But I really love the dialogue and the questions it asks. I feel like it’s so revealing and human, in terms of, anybody that’s been in a relationship for a really long time, whether you get married or not, the issues we all face."

David McK (3562 KP) rated What If: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions in Books

Oct 7, 2019

Well, that was … unusual.

If you want to know if it's possible to 'take off' by firing enough machine guns simultaneously downwards (it is), or how fast you could hit a speed bump while driving and still live, or what would happen if the moon disappeared …

this is the place to come.

Apparently a collection of material from a website-I've-never-heard-of-before (xkcd.com), this provides - as the name states! - serious scientific answers to these (and other) questions.

A curio read, maybe.
