The apatosaurus is potentially twice as long as the T-Rex, and weighs several times as much-but curiously enough, the public is more interested in the T-Rex, as evidenced by how many more times its Wikipedia page is queried. “They never saurus coming!” you could say.
Wolfram|Alpha knows that not everyone knows that, though, so if we query “Compare T-Rex, Brontosaurus,” we get information on both Tyrannosaurus Rex and Apatosaurus. I recently learned that the brontosaurus is formally called an apatosaurus. Luckily, Wolfram|Alpha can compute answers to all sorts of queries kids (or people who self-identify as kids) have, too. A little over two years ago, we wrote a blog post entitled “ 10 Fun Questions Kids Can Answer with Wolfram|Alpha.” Since then, however, our blogs have focused on expanded functionality, socioeconomic data, sports data, and all sorts of things that are really cool but, truthfully, geared toward people whose ages are in the double digits. If I may be so bold as to make a value judgment, kids are-if nothing else-totally super awesome.
