WolframAlpha isn't very good or useful

Even though it has a name like something out of the Wrath of Khan so should be good, it doesn't seem to work or do anything useful.



It's obviously Anna Kournikova. You only need a 13-year-old boy and an old copy of Maxim to tell you that, not a vast cluster of super-computers.

it says at the bottom of the screengrab that if you are an expert - you ARE - then you can be assimilated into the machine like hive brain of WolfRammer Alphatron. Imagine being asked questions by electrodes all day long about exactly how sexy tennis stars are. You wouldn't be real anymore - it'd be like tron.

What you've done there Zorg is kill the computer with an unanswerable question, like Kirk did in every episode of Star Trek whenever there was a mad, out of control computer to fight. Somewhere there's some really pissed off IT technicians wondering why their servers are exploding.
