Ah, yep, hasty typo. The book wasn't too spendy and it's really nicely presented, for what it's worth.
 
I guess I'm saying it would be a nice Christmas gift for a lot of people around here. But I already got one so just send me a burrito I guess.

Just for the record it's XKCD and though I haven't seen the book and don't know how much editing and expanding he did for it I think they mostly come from a weekly feature he's been doing along with strip for some time now.  The archive for it is here if anyone wants a sample to see what it's like or are just too cheap to buy the book.

The XKCD comic guy has a book out now, and it arrived yesterday. I am reading it out loud, so that the kids might catch an idea or two. It's funny and challenging and not a comic strip, it's mostly text with amusing illustrations and I recommend it. As I'm reading it, I keep thinking of a young SFW reading Isaac Asimov's nonfiction stuff and laughing at his geeky humor.

LG TV as a Window – Atomic Bomb Prank During Interview

I don't know if it's real or not, but it's pretty funny.

Three PhDs—one in physics, one in chemistry and one in economics—are marooned on a desert island.  There are combing the beach for food when they discover a can of beans in the sand.  They have no tools except what is on the island so they start discussing how to open the can.   The physicist says, "Let's create a machine using a tree and a rock to inflict enough force on the can to rupture it and we can eat the beans."  The chemistry PhD says, "No we risk splattering the beans everywhere and getting none.  Let's create a chemical solution that will corrode the can and create a hole to get to the beans."  The economics PhD. says,"No we risk contaminating the beans and getting none."  The physicists and the chemist look at look at each other and then the economists, "How would you open it then?" He looked back at then ans said, "Oh, well, first...assume a can opener..."
