Although my wife still gets annoyed when I pull out my smartphone and run a search while we are in "polite company" but hey if you need to put the beat down on your pain-in-the-ass, know-it-all, ex sister-in-law, that Hoover dam opened in the 30's not the 40's and was originally called "boulder dam" even though it's located in black canyon not boulder canyon, well what else are ya gonna do?
