Dreamwidth and Worlfram Alpha

I have created a dreamwidth account for myself -- thank you very much
giandujakiss for the invite code! I had started to get displeased/annoyed with LJ for a long time, and I decided to follow everyone on the mass exodus. Useful crossposting feature. Very useful importing feature: If nothing else, it'll serve well as a backup of post and commentary.
I haven't set it up fully yet, mind you -- there's hardly anyone in my subscription list yet, for starters. Still learning about all the features.
I now have two invite codes to give out as well, if anyone else wants an account. Let me know if anyone's interested. First come, first served.

I tried out "Wolfram Alpha" a bit :
Question #1: "kirk vs picard"
Response #1:'Wolfram|Alpha isn't sure what to do with your input'
I decided to try out something a bit less fannish:
Question #2: 'murder rates in the united states'
Response #2: 'Wolfram|Alpha isn't sure what to do with your input'
Too many words I thought.
Question #3: 'abortion rates'
Response #3: Basic dimensions: '[time]-1 [abortion]', Standard unit for abortion rate: abortion per year
How very utterly useless.
Is there anyone out there who has discovered anything useful (even infinitesimally so) to do with Wolfram|Alpha?
