Wolfram's Easter Eggs

[Zantos]

So, if you're doing any Maths, Physics, Engineering, Chemistry or any number of other degrees that involve any maths what-so-ever, you'll know about http://www.wolframalpha.com. If you don't, haha you've been integrating everything by hand! Fail.

In addition to the usual questions, it turns out there a number of things you can ask or instructions that you can give that it will respond to.

For instance, my favourite is "Do I look fat in this?"

I'll not give you the answer, the link is there.

So, what's your favourite? Did you even know these Easter Eggs existed? Did you not know this existed, and do all of your calculus analytically? If the answer to the last one is yes, you can thank me later. Or now if you want.

Well, since I only know about this now...

"What does the scouter say about his power-level?"

Haha, that's pretty cool.

Just tried this: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=How+much+wood+could+a+woodchuck+chuck+if+a+woodchuck+could+chuck+wood%3F and got a very satisfactory answer.

"What does the scouter say about his power-level?"

I never thought to try that one, brilliant!

Also, "Open the pod bay doors, HAL" gives a predictable, yet satisfying result.

No it's not, thanks to a lack of http:// . Either remove the url tags or update your link to point it in the right direction

Sorry, it's been a while since I've actually used a hyperlink. Should be fixed now.
