I just typed in.

"Average height Australian male"

"162 cm = 5' 3.78"

"Average height US male"

"176 cm= 5' 9.6""

I didn't think there was that much difference.

I don't think so. We have a lot of Asian and Southern European immigrants.

More than 30% of people who call themselves Australians were not born here.

Fantastic, and the programmer has a sense of humor!

For example: I asked:
estimated average cruising airspeed of a laden swallow.

It came back with:
just slightly less than the estimated average cruising airspeed of an unladen swallow. (And it cited the 1975 Monty Python flick)


I asked:
What is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything?

It came back with:
42.

And the real number crunching info is really spectacular!

Thanks for the info!
