I love this guy's website/comic strip called XKCD. Just to give you a flavor of what kind of person this is. XKCD, if you take their position in the alphabet and add them together, it equals 42, which if you watched Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, you would know that 42 is the answer to everything in the universe. X=24, K=11, C=3, and D=4. 24+11+3+4 = 42. Anyways, his comics are hilarious and insightful. As a side project, he answers "what if" questions from his readers using science and math and in this funny TED talk, he sort of explains his process for doing this. Its a fun watch and should inspire the inner mathematician in you.
