My System

Wolfram Alpha

Has anyone else found this site really cool? I haven't used it a whole lot but it seems really intuitive and clever. I have found it quite useful for comparing data for geographical investigation etc, because, unlike a conventional search engine it computes a logical answer, most of the time unless of course it cant interpret your input, in which case google would probably do the same!

Has anyone found any really quirky or useful ways to use this site? One that my friend showed me is this ( you will need to have heard the song to understand but hey)

Input "How many roads must a man walk down"

Wolfram Alpha output - "the answer my friend, is blowin in the wind"
