I am always impressed with how much data there actually is stored in Wolfram|Alphaā€™s data banks. Sometimes itā€™s actually a little creepy.

For those of you who arenā€™t familiar with Wolfram|Alpha. Itā€™s what they call a computational knowledge engineā€¦ Not sure what that is? Consider this. Google is really good at, as with many other things, searching web pages. Where Wolfram|Alpha is good at math, statistics, languageā€¦ you name it!

Try this once, go to Wolfram|Alpha and type in your home City, State. You may be surprised to find the amount of data it knows about.

Try some other things, like an algebra equation ā€œy=sin(x)ā€. Just like below, itā€™ll graph it out!

But the real reason Iā€™m posting this is because it also appears like the guys at Wolfram|Alpha may have a sense of humor as well! I submitted the query, ā€œWhoā€™s Your Daddy?ā€ only to find that it actually gave me a response! It took my query and interpreted it as ā€œWho Created You?ā€.

Head on over to Wolfram Alpha now and see what kinds of things you can look up!
Wolfram Alpha team, seriously, great job on the engine! Iā€™ve already purchased the Android app. Keep up the great work and donā€™t lose your sense of humor!
