From the creator of the wildly popular xkcd, What If? gives hilarious and informative answers to important questions you probably never thought to ask. Millions visit xkcd.com each week to read Randall Munroe's iconic webcomic. Fans ask him a lot of strange questions. How fast can you hit a speed bump, driving, and live? When (if ever) did the sun go down on the British Empire? When will Facebook contain more profiles of dead people than living? How many humans would a T Rex rampaging through New York need to eat a day? In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations and consults nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity and hilarity. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind - or at least a really big explosion. This audiobook edition is read by geek icon Wil Wheaton (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Stand by Me, The Big Bang Theory) and has been adapted for audio in collaboration with the author.

My headline to this review is tongue-in-cheek.
Very many of the answers to the sometimes silly, but "made-you-think" questions which Mr. Munroe creates end up blowing up at least the questioner, maybe the world and sometimes everything! He does develop his reasoning well in each.
However, I would ask Mr. Munroe to take the summer/fall/winter or spring off and evaluate his apparent conviction on the validity of evolution. I do think he will find such an effort very challenging and, hopefully, fully rewarding. 2+2=4 is truth in a rational world. Evolution is not.
