We could ask the question, how do you pronounce the capital of Missouri? Saint Louie or Saint Louis? The answer is Jefferson City. __________________ Chris Johnston "She was a critic, and lots fo critics who aren't called to do what they write about grow jealous and mean and small in their disappointment." - Stephen King, Duma Key Sashi-no-eda.blogspot.com

It's not as much fun when people know the answer, is it? But I used to get a lot of kids with that one when I was . . . well, rather younger than I am today.

Another one that could be fun but which people often get right is this one about an air disaster:

A plane takes off from New York City en route to Los Angeles, with passengers from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and California on board. in mid-flight, a catastrophic mechanical failure kills power to all engines. The plane crashes on the state line between Oklahoma and Texas. Where is the most appropriate place to bury the survivors: In New York, where the flight originated, in California where it was headed, in either of Oklahoma or Texas, or in their respective home states?

(It's a easier to get that one when you read it as opposed to when you just hear it, but actually a disappointingly large percentage of respondents get it right even when just hearing it.)
