Another Google Trick

While trying to find a free MP3 of the 1812 Overture for my son, I typed "1812 mpg" into Google (sans quotes) by mistake and got a surprise.

1,812 miles per gallon! I guess that's the specs on the new Hypester 6000 with the fuel cell battery. Now gotta find me a hydrogen fillin station.

David, thanks for finding the "Use Google to evaluate mathematical expressions," thing.

This is what you are looking for:

And it's not Google.

I recommend you look at Singingfish:

http://www.singingfish.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?query=1812

I find the results there far superior to any of the other places for songs and video. Course, I work for them...
