There's been an earthquake of about 4.7 on I don't know which scale less than 50 km away from where I live. I filled a questionnaire and there was the word askew in it, so I asked google what it means and... well try yourself. Put askew in google. :smile:

Although, not quite as good, it reminds me of this. Go to Wolfram Alpha and type in
"Answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything"

(You might have to be a Douglas Adams fan to get that though.)
