I'm in the Navy and am just back from the Persian Gulf, so am just catching up to the BOL casts I've missed. Sorry for the late comment, but on Ep. 723 you talked about the Powerset website and I went to try it out. I asked it "who was Theodore Roosevelt's vice president?" and absolutely none of the 2 pages of answers had anything to do with the vice presidency, much less who his VP was. Maybe it's not quite as good as it appeared to be at first blush. There are mentions of him as a vice president and links to his Association, etc, but I don't want to know anything about him, I wanted to find out about who his VP was. Alternately, 13 links down in a Google search came up with the name Charles W. Fairbanks. I'm sticking with Google for the time being.
Love the show, keep it going.
I remember that episode and site...I typed in "who is bill gates" and it gave me some wacky answers:
founded : Microsoft, company, Kurt Russell, Paul Newman, leader....
created : DONKEY.BAS
foundered: Microsoft.
sang: U2.
brought : Stretch Armstrong.(LOL)
smashed: mailboxes.
got: BSOD.
last but not least...
blasted: zombies.
