All products All products From the creator of the wildly popular xkcd.com, hilarious & 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, & 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 & consults nuclear reactor operators. His responses are masterpieces of clarity & hilarity, complemented by comics. They often predict the complete annihilation of humankind, or at least a really big explosion.
