The what-if blog comes from the maker of a funny physics/mathematics themed webcomic called xkcd, and it examines the lethality of radiation in a storage pool for spent fuel. It certainly has a comical tone, and one of the reference links is broken, but the author seems to have a good grasp of the science. I figured that we cover a lot of very serious topics in class and a bit of comedy is always welcome.
Here is the link
I would actually recommend reading more of the what ifs, they are all very funny, albeit mostly not related to nuclear physics. The hair dryer one is my favorite.
