It's like the Board and xkcd combined. Too bad he only posts once a week.

I know
it made me really happy. I want to ask him the carp question (
http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/67852/) and see how he does the fluid friction, but I'm not sure I want to see a better answer than mine haha

whu?
If the average bird produces half a fluid ounce of poop a day, and Americans drive about 3 trillion miles a year, then in order to satisfy US demand, cars that ran on bird poop would need to get a minimum of:
(300 billion birds×0.5fluid oz/day)/(3 trillion miles/year)=0.335mm2=13 miles per gallon
Unit cancellation is weird.
