Randall Munroe: Comics that ask "what if?"

Origin Entry: xkcd
Description

Web cartoonist Randall Munroe answers simple what-if questions ("what if you hit a baseball moving at the speed of light?") using math, physics, logic and deadpan humor. In this charming talk, a reader's question about Google's data warehouse leads Munroe down a circuitous path to a hilariously over-detailed answer – in which, shhh, you might actually learn something.
