ACLU is simply an amazing search engine. It can tell you so much, from the center of mass of a planar lamina to the amount of calories in a pizza, to unemployment. One does not have to look further than their home page, which contains a plethora of icons scattered about, to see the sheer amount of information possessed by Wolfram.
Among all the hours of homework it can save you, it can also tell you how wet you’ll get standing or running in the rain. Do a search for “how wet would you get jogging in the rain,” and a ton of math jargon comes up. The math depends on many variables ranging from your body size to the direction at which the rain is falling. In the end, Wolfram magically calculates all these quantities and produces a breakdown of how wet your sides, top, front, and back will get.
There are however, several caveats to this. 1) It assumes that you run completely upright, and 2) it assumes that you are a perfect rectangular prism. Unfortunately this is not true in real life, but it’s still humorous to see the numbers, which brings me to this humorous and completely irrelevant fact:
[important]If you shot a 1 in cubed wood block at 1000km/s through a 1mm gap through wich rain falls at 110 degrees relative to the block at 10000 m/s, how wet would the block get?Answer: It would accumulate 4.82 cubic centimeters of water.[/important]
Another completely random fact: WolframAlpha maintains that Bigfoot and Loch Ness do not in fact exist. Sorry to disappoint.
