(answer: a little more than the distance from the sun to Mars) to "If cows could photosynthesize, how much less food would they need?" (answer: a few handfuls of grain).

If you've ever asked yourself a ridiculous hypothetical question, xkcd's what if? is the place for you. Here Rundall Munroe answers reader submitted questions ranging from "How close would you have to be to a supernova to get a lethal dose of neutrino radiation?" (answer: a little more than the distance from the sun to Mars) to "If cows could photosynthesize, how much less food would they need?" (answer: a few handfuls of grain).
Although the questions may sound ridiculous, the answers are not. Well, maybe they are, but they're accurate. Munroe researches all of his responses thoroughly. He even cites his sources! I enjoy this site because it's funny and informative. I learn a lot of random facts through reading these. And, each post always includes several illustrations. So if you're wondering "what if?", go check it out!
