Dies ist die zweite Webcomic-Reihe von Randall Munroe nach xkcd in Buchform. Es werden diverse außergewöhnliche Fragen so ernst wie möglich behandelt. Jetzt weiß ich also, dass es wahrscheinlicher ist, irgendeine Telefonnummer anzurufen, “Gesundheit” zu sagen und derjenige, der den Hörer abgenommen hat, hat gerade tatsächlich genießt, als einen 6er im Lotto zu kriegen. Und dass 2060 Facebook wahrscheinlich mehr Profile Toter als Lebendiger hat. Und dass ich durch Teeumrühren das Teewasser nicht zum Kochen bringen kann. Wie wundervoll!

Dieser Schmöker ist ein erhellender, nicht ganz anspruchsloser Begleiter auf unserem Donnerbalken und erhält, da er wohl für jeden etwas Interessantes birgt, fünf von fünf möglichen Klorollen.
