other Randal Monroe often did the math.

What if? and How to: from xkcd's Randall Munroe

Lots of questions here are answered by Randal Monroe's excellent "What if series."

Other interesting questions include how to stop jupiter via flybyes. Or how much more do we have to eat to eat a sun's worth of energy.


Have fun.

Request air cooled pigeon poop

had the pleasure of a pigeon perched 4m up in a tree poop on my exposed big toe earlier. my friend asked if it was warm as birds have a higher body temperature (40.5°C).

question: at what temperature did the poop hit my toe?

ambient temp 29°C, rel. humidity say 65%. light breeze.
