<Q: what causes the funny one-liners on Usenet?>

Here is another wrong answer in vanilla Trivial Pursuit:
"On the fifth day of Christmas, what did my true love give to me?"

Their answer:  Five golden rings

The real answer:  Five golden rings, four calling birds, three french hens,
two turtledoves, and a partridge in a pear tree!

In "Peanuts" Linus even calculated the totals (40 golden rings, 36 calling
birds, 30 french hens, 22 turtledoves, 12 partridges in pear trees, etc.)

This would be a good trick question if the answer was right, since most
people would simply answer five golden rings, forgetting the rest.
