| Opplysninger | For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally bad that no one would ever try it. This is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole. The author explains how to predict the weather by analyzing the pixels of your Facebook photos. He teaches you how to tell if you're a baby boomer or a 90's kid by measuring the radioactivity of your teeth. He offers tips for taking a selfie with a telescope, crossing a river by boiling it, and getting to your appointments on time by destroying the Moon. And if you want to get rid of the book once you're done with it, he walks you through your options for proper disposal, including dissolving it in the ocean, converting it to a vapor, using tectonic plates to subduct it into the Earth's mantle, or launching it into the Sun.
