#12It keeps telling me an apostrophe is the number 39. No, but seriously it looks neat. What are the websites it queries for results? I've seen Yahoo! and Wikipedia so far.

Stackoverflow comes up when you do coding questions, yahoo answers when you do just random questions. Although, Quora doesn't appear as often as I like. I need to do a bit of tweaking.
