How to use these Easter Eggs to fabricate a genuine interview with Wolfram-Alpha was recently shown by an Austrian magazine called "Wiener" (GQ-like) and can be viewed here: www.bit.ly/wa_i

It knows lots of maths jokes! Just type in "Tell me a joke", and it will give you a different one each time!

Wolfram Alpha is a good news in the area of search engines. It has some advantages compared to the other search engines. Still, it is not the competition to Google or other search engines, since it uses totally different approach. It is more like dictionary or encyclopedia than search engine.

It knows how many pickled peppers Peter Piper picked!

However, if could not tell me if it believed in the Hogfather, nor what an "out of cheese" error meant. It needs to brush up on its Terry Pratchett/Hex references! :)

When WolframAlpha first went online I tried, "Why is the sky blue?" and got a good answer. However there was no good answer to "Why is the sky orange?"
Also why don't arrow keys work in this text area? That's bogus!

Ask it if it's skynet, the answer is awesome.
