I got the idea for this earlier today on IRC when aonomus looked up how many kcal were in a cubic meter of gravy using WA, so I thought it would be a fun and hilarious comptition to see who could get WA to output the most crazy, yet correct results to a question.

Here are a few I came up with.
mass of one googol googol googol cubic light years of osmium Link2
integrate x*log(x)*(log(x+1))^4 Link2
masses of the earth per yoctogram Link2

I leave it as an exercise to the reader to prove whether it's correct.

It doesn't seem to understand electricity, I haven't yet been able to frame a question that it doesn't answer "I don't know what to do with your input". so for instance "resistance of 1m copper wire area 1mm2", "capacitance of 1m radius sphere" or "voltage weston cell", all of which plain vanilla Google can answer. Can anybody frame an electridcal question it can answer? <edit> just managed one "charge electron" geez! anything more interesting? </edit>
