Thanks to Craig Miller of Miller Ventures for sending me this link. I've also included a link to Wikipedia to show you what it has to say about this.

Some month's ago there was a touch of whimsy in Wolfram Alpha, via Easter Eggs. You could enter 42 and one response was the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, from Douglas Adams - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Now, if you type in "what is the answer to life?" you'll get 42. Here's a link to some W_A Easter Egg

One Twitter wag refers to W_A as the homework machine. Good stuff here.
