Reading Funny Stuff

You might have heard of Google's calculator. Just type in a mathematical expression like e^5 + 2 and Google will give you the result.

But it is more clever like that. Ask it for the speed of light in knots, how many seconds are in a decade, how many megabytes one hour of 128 kbps MP3 music would consume on your hard disk or completely freakish stuff.

My personal favorite is asking the calculator for the answer to life, the universe and everything.

Hat tip to Kottke, Waxy.

Seems like a never ending story at google. hehe.
You can do any number of things there and play with google calculator.
Thanks Jaz for introducing me such a good tool on google. :)

Is reading in the bathroom considered Multi-Tasking? :)

I remember playing with this for hours on end when Kottke first posted of it. Just another nifty feature to validate google as the best choice for my browsers start page :).

I finally know why the answer to life, the universe and everything is 42.
Because the question to life, the universe and everything is "what do you get by multiplying 9 with 6?"

(to understand it, read Douglas Adams - The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy)

Some news to this topic: did you ever try to let Google find you a definition of something?

It's a nice feature, which in most of the cases works out well, if you want to know a specific definition/description of a word.

Examples:

- define definition
- define 42
- define brain dead
- define geek
- define Bill Gates

cu, w0lf.

ps: about the answer of life, etc. you possibly also might want to read this Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Answer_to_Life,_the_Universe,_and_Everything

I prefer lifing in a nightmare called reality.
