I am very quickly becoming addicted to this. I think the articles he's writing weekly are actually more interesting to me than his comics at this point.

I found out about this recently; I was very amused by the one about pitching a baseball at 90% the speed of light.

The moral of the story is don't throw things nearly as fast as the speed of light.

Amused because of (in)accuracy, or the fact that a solid object moving near light speed is so destructive?

I think the "Mole of Moles" question is my favorite so far. Definitely enjoyed it more once it got to the meat volcano part.

I can only imagine the head shake of disappointment and potential smack earned from a lady friend to show happiness at a volcano of decomposing moles.

The robot apocalypse was a little less humorous, but was still a good chuckle.
