This is really cool!

Fun things to Search

Your Birthday (or any other date)
Your hometown, or any other place
Equations
Here is one generic example
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1+apple+%2B+2+oranges

I have no idea how accurate this stuff is (1 Apple and 2 Oranges have 880mg of fat?, who knew?), but it's fun to play around with.

I found this and lots of other intersting stuff on popsci's "Best of What's New 2009"

Pretty cool. Doesn't list Playboy and Doom as being my birthday's anniversary. But I did learn a few things I didn't already know.

If I ever find Jesus, he'll be hiding in Mathematica's FourierSeries command.
