My favorite: "Tell me about yourself, and don't use anything I already know from your resume" - almost always results in stammering and silence

See, now this is where I'd go into my personal hobbies/passions and that could either go really well (if the person is a genuinely cool/nice person).. or really poorly (the person is an old stiff who wants you to use the question to continue making up BS about how great you are). Then again, I probably wouldn't want to work for someone who was the latter, so I guess the question is good for both parties to gauge each other.
