This was a fun book. It takes crazy questions and answers them in serious, literal ways. It veers into science overload territory occasionally, but the answers are done in an entertaining way. I would recommend going through this book fairly slowly so you avoid the science burnout.
This is the best thing in the history of best things. Zinātnieku humors ir labākais humors.

As a whole, this book was so weir. I love it.
Some random bits that stand out with ZERO context:
- "I am a guy who draws pictures on the internet. I LIKE it when things catch fire and explode. Which means I do not have your best interests in mind."
- The horror that is a mole of moles.
- D&D genetics

So everyone with a fascination for facts, science, economics, space, web cartoons, or dinner table conversation starters should read this. I didn't like all of the stories but that's the best thing about short chapters! HUZZAH!
A genuinely brilliant blend of humor, math, and science. You’ll tell yourself you’re only going to read one more question, but 5 questions later you’ll still be sucked in
I was expecting a book with only physics. I didn't read any reviews, and I just started reading without any expectations. I was not prepared for this level of humor. Humor, cartoons and strange but so interesting questions. I finished it in less than a day, and I took so many pictures on the pages, so now if I browse the phone I'll feel like rereading the book again.
Entertaining, but a word to the wise: I really don't think this is a book to binge-read.
