Brainboost.com is a search engine that answers questions like: "Did Nixon play golf?". It's the first new search engine I've seen in a long time that does a search thing better than Google. Maybe NLP techniques will be the next wave of innovation, or perhaps Google will just buy them out.

It's also old school in that it takes 4 seconds for the answer to come back, and there are no ads...

Alas, I found that it can't answer: "Did Nixon prefer golf or bowling?"...
