In addition to this you can use Google as a calculator, by just typing in "10 times 75" or "18474 plus 47634734" into the search bar. When's the swiss army knife feature, I think I have some cans of soup I need Google to open!

You can also type in a shipping tracking code into Google and be told where your package is, and in some cases can pull up information about a person by entering their phone number.

Google is quickly approaching SkyNet status. It's a little scary.

How about weight of liquids?

There's one thing I've always been curious about - but have never quite translated it successfully. How much, exactly, does a gallon of gasoline (automobile, pump fuel) weigh?

I know for airplanes and the like - especially fighter planes, they get loaded with thousands of pounds of fuel, but that they're also different in consistency in a sense.

Not sure of the difference in weights, but a gallon of plain water is something like 8.3 pounds. Only reason I know that is from my days backpacking in New Mexico. Five gallons doesn't sound like a lot until you have to carry it two miles!

Standard gasoline has a density of 702.5 kg/m^3. Converted to imperial that's roughly 5.86 lb/gal. It's easy enough to find weight from there.
