Which weighs more? All the trains that pass through grand central station in a day, or all the trees cut down in a year to print US currency?

the answer is probably something stupid because trains don't pass through grand central and us money isnt printed on paper?

The movie (Inside Man) was excellent. Close to The Usual Suspects in quality/plot.

Didn't know Spike Lee directed it until I was checking it out on IMDB.

You gotta be kidding me... it was no where near the usual suspect level.

Because neither one is heavier. I know where you were going with it but 0 isn't heavier then 0

It isn't even 0, it is more like null or unicorns.

Is a unicorn heavier than a dragon?

I actually didn't know that Grand Central Station is the name of the Post Office.

Grand Central Terminal is the thing trains go through.

I should hope not. That second sentence is no longer a sentence.

Great movie. Also, it's a lot simpler in the movie because the guy asking the question clearly says "It's a trick question."
