Wolfram|Alpha

My favorite so far is What is the meaning of life? 42

I'm trying to think of one of those cool tricky math questions to ask it but my mind is blanking.

Well that is a pretty cool site, I like it, thanks.

Google's had that easter egg for years. Google "the answer to life the universe and everything" to find it.

Wolfram Alpha is a useful application, but I don't get all the hype.

I knew I would get it somehow!!! :hyper:

One of my favorite examples is how much magnesium is in 43 cubic miles of fried chicken - Wolfram|Alpha
