I recently came across some real amusing/humorous/sad (depending on your context) answers from a candidate; please don't try these in your interview as it's quite difficult for interviewer to bite the tongue and try not to laugh.

What is GAC and what problem does it solve. Compare and contrast it with System32 and DLL hell problem?
Answer: GAC..hmmm..I've read it somewhere...
brilliant stuff! really hard not to crack up laughing in my cubicle, just reading these.
globalization/localization is probably my favourite -- because if you didn't know better, you might believe that it was the right answer. You can imagine the candidate walked away from the question thinking "Yes! I totally nailed that one!"
