OK, here are some "Power Google" tips, because I'm a geek and not too proud to admit it.
1) Try this search. Then this one.
2) Now this one. And this too.
3) Just for fun, type in "Miserable Failure" and hit "I'm Feeling Lucky" You may have seen this before, but it should be noted that it's most likely a manipulation from outside rather than a hack by Google. Not that they mind, probably. Here's an article discussing it.
Like any portal, Google offers lots of tools on the site, but I love the fact that those are available right from the search box, and have started using them all the time since I found them. Unfortunately the calculator wigs out after a while. It doesn't seem to deal with symbolic quantities very well. They need an operator like "define:" for the calc tool, so you could type in
"calc:Radius of earth in miles ^2 / (radius of earth in miles + 62)^2"
Hey, why are you looking at me like that? I warned you.
