    I remember seeing a show about savants that featured a guy who could rattle that stuff off by memory. What day of the week a specific date was, weather, what he had for breakfast, etc.. Prolly on Youtube but I'm too lazy to look it up.

    wolframalpha still has a lot of work, I saw a TED lecture on using it for more interesting things like plotting the gdp of two different countries against each other over time
