It is very lacking in knowing dates of history. Take for example that it doesn't know that May 6th, 1937 is the day the Hindenburg crashed at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in New Jersey. That is a major day in history and any Google search or Wikipedia search finds that date and it's significance instantly.

Nice tool for stupid knowledge or trivia, but not trustworthy. Nice for finding out how old you are in days weeks years and what day of the week you were born on.
