Monday night trivia question

A young lady looked at a picture and said, ?This person?s mother was my mother?s mother-in-law.? Who was in the picture?

 
I have one for you. See how quickly you sharp night owls can get this:
  • This is a most unusual paragraph. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it -- and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual, though. Why? Study it, think about it, and you may find out. Try to do it without coaching. If you work at it for a bit, it will dawn on you. So jump to it and try your skill at figuring it out. Good luck. Don't blow your cool!

There are no E's in the paragraph
 
I have another teaser (perhaps it's more apropos since it pertains to football and that association with Monday nights heh):
  • I am not much of a football fan; in fact, yesterday's game was the first one I watched all season. Nevertheless, I found that, as usual, I was able to accurately predict the score before the game even started. Some think that I am psychic, others that I posess supernatural powers (all right, not really, but that's what the card says!).

    How is it that I can be accurate about the score over 99 per cent of the time?

You "predict" the score is 0-0 before the game.

Heh yup. Nice work reading between the lines.

Here's another:
  • A trained chimpanzee has learned a trick whereby he can throw a baseball so that it travels a short distance, comes to a complete stop, reverses direction and then returns to him! He doesn't bounce it off another object or hit it with anything, nor does he tie anything to it. How does he do it?
