Wolfram Alpha, the computational knowledge engine created by British-born physicist and Mathematica creator Stephen Wolfram, provides expert-level answers to complex queries. Its capabilities can (and should) be used to get serious answers to serious questions.

But we’re not going to use it for that, we’re going to use it for fun. Here are 10 amusing (and sort of dumb) questions that you can ask Wolfram Alpha.

1. How does a dog see a cat picture?




2. What have the Romans ever done for us?




3. What is the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field?




4. What two things are infinite?




5. Do you know a dirty joke?




6. Where did I park my car?




7. What famous people are named Bob?




8. How many astronomers does it take to change a light bulb?




9. How many Kit Kat bars would it take to stretch around Earth?




10. Can you fail the Turing test?
