Wolfram+Alpha=Nerdtastic Good Times!

For those of you not familiar with WolframAlpha.com, I am so sorry! Because I love knowing stuff this site is chocked full of facts and figures. The site does not search other websites for answers to your queries, which means that the answers you get are precise - and sometimes the site does not have answers for more obscure questions. But I will take a precise answer over an arbitrary answer provided by HotMama22 in Omaha, NE.

What does WolframAlpha.com mean for the average marketing joe? I'm not sure yet. But wouldn't it be cool if an advertiser could sponsor some of the answers? For example, if you asked a distance question like, "How far is the sun from the moon?" the site would return real answers as well as how many tanks of gas it would take for a Toyota Corolla to travel the same distance.

Anyway. Just a thought. Otherwise, I just like this site. And sometimes that is enough for me.
