Okay. So if it wasn't Delilah - who was it?
Delilah's sister?
or Sampson himself...
A good one I used to use up until last year was
"Which planet is furthest away from the sun?"
Everyone used to answer Pluto as that seems the obvious answer, but from about 1979 to 1999 it was Neptune due to its funny shaped (technical term) orbit.

Time for my best Michael Caine impression
"And not a lot of people know that...."
"...and she called a SERVING MAN to come and cut..."
I believe that is an exact quote, but I could be wrong. I
KNOW that is the intent of the verse. Note: I can only
guarrantee the King James version of the story.
Actually it is Pluto that has the eccentric orbit. The strangeness of the orbits of Pluto and Neptune has led to the hunt for Planet X (Unknown or Ten, as you will). Neptune's orbit is obviously affected by a large gravitational source and it is not Pluto (it just is not large enough). Interesting, huh?
Cheers,
P.
American theorists claim there must be a tenth planet due to forsaid Pluto + Neptune orbits. Apparently there is a high mathmatical probability of this.
