[Moog]

You could try the perenial irritating posting on this site of... There are three words ending in gry what are they? [It's irritating because there are only two!] or howabout...

Football team in the English league which begin and end in the same letter

Three players who have scored a hatrick for three different team in the Premiership

Or one of my favourites.. Which two UK rivers rise on the same hill take twp completely different routes but enter the sea in the same place?

and the one about dale and nell :-)

[james dean]

Name ten body parts with exactly three letters. The answer: eye, ear, arm, leg, jaw, rib, hip, toe, lip, gum.

james dean: In answer to the first of Moog's Qs, the question should actually be 'Hungry and Angry are two words ending in GRY. There are three in the English language. What is the third?' It's a trick question, there are three words in 'THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE', so the third is 'Language'.

Sorry James the answer to the footy one is in here: question 28402 and the rivers are the Wye and Severn

This is a freaky question to try - I've tried it on twenty-five colleagues, 24 of which fell into the trap! Ask someone to say the word 'silk' five times slowly, then ask them to spell the word silk, then ask them what cows drink. Chances are they will say "Milk," because of the subconcious suggestion you have placed in their mind - the answer is actually - water! Try it for a laugh.

In the same vein as Andys, ask your friends to answer without thinking these questions. It doesn't matter if the answer is wrong! 1+1, 2+2, 4+4, 8+8, 16+16, 32+32, Name a vegetable. Nearly everyone will say 'Carrot'. Or if you just want a stunning fact: Did you know the world constipation record is 102 days? You should have seen the 103rd!

Wait til someone's just bought a whisky, or any short; cover it with empty pint glass; bet them a quid you can drink it without touching the pint glass, if they agree, lift pint glass and drink their drink, hand over a quid.. worth it.
