Google Skills

"If you need to use any of my skills, I can do whatever you want." - Napoleon Dynamite

Napoleon has many skills, the greatest of which may be dancing, or maybe picking up chicks. But if you really want to be WOWed, check out the calculator and conversion functions in Google. I didn't know until recently that you could type mathmatical functions into Google and get the answer. For example, you can type 468 X 191 = and see that it is 89388. But even cooler, you can type things like 42000 feet to miles and see that it is 7.854 miles. Or, if you're in the kitchen, try 16 ounces to teaspoons and see that it is 96 teaspoons. You can convert currency, metric to standard, do math, and so on. It's great when you're find out that a missionary in Ethiopia is sending you 200 kg of coffee divided up into 1600 bags, and you want to know how big the bags are (this really happened). Here are some other examples from Google:
5+2*2
2^20
sqrt(-4)
half a cup in teaspoons
160 pounds * 4000 feet in Calories
Now that is some skills!
