Wolfram Alpha

Have you heard of Wolfram Alpha?

I asked it:

 "Where am I?"
It put me in Luzern (right country, only 31 kilometres away, which I also found out from it)

"What is the meaning of life?"
Input interpretation: answer to life, the universe, and everything
Result: 42
(according to Douglas Adams' humorous science fiction novel Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)

"Does God exist?"
Human Discourse - Additional functionality for this topic is under development...
Leave your email address to be notified when it is ready.

"Who is president of Zimbabwe?"
Wolfram|Alpha isn't sure what to do with your input.
(Google's response to the same question is: Robert MUGABE)

Interesting. Obviously it's meant for mathematical and scientific calculations, which I didn't exactly test...what interesting questions and answers have you come up with on Wolfram Alpha?
