Who has Some Awesome Interview Questions to Ask Job Candidates?
I have to interview a handful of outside candidates for a couple of positions this week and it's super boring. I have a list of legit questions I cycle through but I want to sneak in a few off the wall-random ass questions just for fun...just something to break the monotony. Does anybody have any good questions to try? What are some of the most outrageous questions you've asked or been asked in an interview?

I had an interview not long ago with our new management, and one of the questions they asked me was what I thought made for a good management team. I liked that question.

Re: Who has Some Awesome Interview Questions to Ask Job Candidates?
I always liked this approach. I ask the person to think about two employers or teachers that they admired and to think about two employers or teachers they disliked. After giving them a moment I ask them to give me three reasons they admired each employer/teacher. Then I ask them to give me three reasons they disliked the other two employers/teachers. Not only are they not prepared with a canned answer so that you get real time thought from them, but you also get to learn what is important to them. For example, if both employers they admired were both described as being fair and they said one of the the employers they disliked was unfair, then it's safe to assume this person values fairness in the workplace. Whatever the similarities are can be very revealing of their true feelings and values. Rarely do I ever have someone list 12 completely different characteristics.
