Another of the same ilk is "Do Buddhists eat meat" (from the Genus II
edition).  You will get two answers to this question--depending on whether
you are talking to a Chinese Buddhist or a Tibetan Buddhist.

And the one they got me on:  "Where was it said `Oh, brave new world, that 
has such people in it'?"  They claimed "Brave New World"--I answered "The
Tempest".  Sigh.

      To search for perfection is all very well,
