Wolfram Alpha
is a "computational knowledge engine", which in
layman's terms means it's a computer you ask things and it tells you.
Yes,
it knows the answer.
No, it is (probably) not run by
demonic lawyers.
Provides examples of:
- A God Am I: As evidenced here
.
- Easter Egg / The Dev Team Thinks of Everything: If it is a well-known question from pop culture, it's probably programmed into Wolfram Alpha.
- Hiroshima As a Unit of Measure: Wolfram Alpha's designed to give units such as these for any answer involving measurements. It doesn't always seem to get the part where such units are supposed to be "well known", though, instead doing things like comparing lengths of time to equinox procession periods.
- Logic Bomb: Put in "x iff !x" (x is true if and only if x is false) and it throws out stock numbers for IFF, because that is better than the alternative.
