Most people gravitate towards the most convenient option.  I *really* hate
bothering people when I don't need to, so I tend to ask a search engine or
wiki first, because computers have infinite patience and people don't. 
People, though, can fuzzy-match and implement DWIM far better than computers
can.  This helps when the queries are fuzzy or badly formed.

> Sometimes the first, second forth page of google is irreverent

I'm sure you can have it return pages in {Spanish, Chinese, French,
Klingon...} preferentially.  If it could return pages that were irreverent,
that'd be a great boon to comedians and snarky cynics :-) .

Dude, like, this is totally not going to work unless we can get Eddie Van
Halen on this mailing list.  :-P
