Fun with Wolfram Alpha

Let’s ask about the airspeed of an unladen swallow.

Assuming estimated average cruising airspeed of an unladen African swallow | Use estimated average cruising airspeed of an unladen European swallow instead

Yes, that makes sense.

Input interpretation:
estimated average cruising airspeed of an unladen African swallow

So far, so good.

Result:
there is unfortunately insufficient data to estimate the velocity of an African swallow (even if you specified which of the 47 species of swallow found in Africa you meant)\n(asked of a general swallow (but not answered) in Monty Python\'s Holy Grail.)

Ba-dum.
Why did the chicken cross the road?

Result:
to get to the other side

Guess which question yields 42.

Does anyone know why Wolfram Alpha returns images rather than text?

xD.
