Favorite Stupid Interview Questions

[stickyboy]

... and man I've had some doozies leveled at me in my day. My all-time favorites seem to be the uber-technical job-irrelevant queries submitted by some geek swinging his dick and staking out his territory for the new guys, but then again there are others that I remember fondly as well

I didn't understand anything that was said, lol. Computer language has never made that much sense to me. But I did have to do a double take on the last two. What kind of questions are those?

If I were to hazard a guess, the Mitnick one was to feel out an applicant's sympathy toward convicted hackers or something. The sex question is a very common question with uber-Christian institutions. You can't get into most fundamentalist Christian schools and a lot of Christian-centric companies without giving the right answer on that one.
