Yes, Wolfram|Alpha, that's exactly what I meant.

Just create another account and read the rules with that account.

Turns out that Wolfram Alpha is very useful. For example:
0.01278121485 cubic feet
361.9237001 cubic centimeters

The question was supposed to be "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"- Everything on the page is displayed as images, not text.
- Hover over an answer and some widgets appear.
- Select "copyable plaintext".
- Why the fucking fuck isn't it text to begin with?
- Select the "plaintext" and paste into CS and get this: <font face="courier new,courier"><div style="display:block;padding:0px;width:527px;height:18px;"><<font color="#FF0000">img src=</font>"http://www4b.wolframalpha.com/Calculate/MSP/MSP3511ccdd7hbgd61309e00004cfb47idb65b95d1?MSPStore<font color="#FF0000">Type=image/gif</font>&s=33&w=527.&h=18." class="maphilighted" style="opacity:0;left:0px;top:0px;padding:0px;border:0px none;" id="i_0100_1" alt="" height="18" width="527"></div></font>
- Was Wolfram Aplha written by the same people who created Community Server?

IIRC you used to need to have WolframAlpha Pro ($5/month) to be able to get copyable plaintext. Apparently they removed it.
