What If?

Give them something to read in their spare time, or maybe just something to be a conversation starter at their next job.  What If? By Randall Munroe is a group of “serious scientific answers to absurd hypothetical questions.”  You could find out how fast you have to drive to get raindrops to shatter your windshield, or what would happen if a pitcher threw a baseball at close to light speed, with equations and stick figure cartoons to help explain.  It’s sure to be a hit as gifts for coworkers leaving job.

Gifts for coworkers leaving the job can be hard to find, but this Whatever Wall Clock should do the trick.  With the numbers jumbled at the bottom and a big “Whatever” in the center, it’s a good way to get a laugh.  After all, what do they need to know the time for?  It’s not like you’ll notice if they’re late.
