Look closely at the adjectives in the title:

Absurd. Yes, truly absurd. The questions posed in this book are truly absurd.

Here's one: How quickly would the oceans drain if a portal was made at the deepest spot in the ocean?

Another: How many Lego blocks would it take to build a bridge able to carry traffic from London to New York?

Oh, just one more: From what height would you need to drop a steak for it to be cooked when it hit the ground?

Scientific jargon. Mathematical formulas. And clever cartoons.

You need to read this book. Trust me. It's fantastic.
