If you look at the traffic stats for WolframAlpha, it has the highest rank in Nigeria: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/wolframalpha.com I find this interesting.

Great news, my suggestion: ditch the "time calculated" info on Wolfram results. I personally don't care that something was "Computed by Wolfram|Alpha at Mon Apr 18 2011 19:31:47 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)" Just "Computed by Wolfram|Alpha" would suffice

Yes, or use a much lighter font on the WA timestamp, now it is too prominent. As an example, try to parse this result for "fathers day 2011": "Sunday, June 19, 2011 Computed by Wolfram|Alpha at Tue Apr 19 2011 08:31:06 GMT+0300 (FLE Daylight Time)""
