Yeah some of the stuff does screw up pretty badly. For example, searching for "third zero of the zeta function" yields "0.5+14.13 i major thirds, 2+56.54 i semitones, 0.1667+4.712 i octaves". The amount of totally random information is amazing though, from when the next total solar eclipse will be to finding specific DNA sequences in the genome through musical scales, molecules, first name statistics, words containing EWQ, the location of satelites, etc. etc.
