Google calculator

Just noticed Google has a cool new feature. I typed "how many kilometers in a mile" and it gave me the answer without spewing out a bunch of sites and having me go looking for the answer. Google rocks!

Nifty.

Can do all sorts of interesting calculations.

Yep

Says it can do some hex and binary calcs too. Haven't worked out how yet, but I'll keep playing.

Hmm, link doesn't work..

What is it supposed to do? I tried all sorts of combinations of that phrase. None of them loaded the calculator.

edit: BTW there is a space between lightbul and the last b, and another one in the middle. If you remove them, it opens a normal google session.
