As a pyrrhonist, I enjoy thinking of the possible, as opposed to the actual. Hence I get a big kick out of What If? , a website devoted to thinking of the probable physical consequences of improbable (maybe even physically impossible) events, sent in by readers. Today's page, for example, is devoted to the question,"What if a rainstorm dropped all of its water in a single drop?"
It's done by Randall Munroe, a physics grad, who also does the XKCD comic strip. Try either out if you're so inclined.
