Google's natural language parsing is pretty amazing:

Try typing this into Google:
four score plus five baker's dozens times e to the power of pi times the golden ratio cubed

It's impressive, but not amazingly so. That's only for the calculator, which means it's only parsing functions. The whole thing is delimited by operators. The fact that it does "four score" is a bit impressive though. The parser is probably pretty simple, but the look-up table the scanner has is probably huge.

But don't mind me, I've got a bit of insomnia and I'm probably just trying to look like I know what I'm talking about.
