The "microsoft interview questions" have made it to Reader's Digest (very interesting reading when sitting in the opthamologists waiting room waiting for the dilation chemicals to take effect). How about some Oracle interview questions? Like:

Why are the Oracle headquarters buildings shaped that way?

Describe the logic of Oracle stock returns.

Decompose a chicken.

You are stranded on a desert island with your 4 favorite cd's, a solar powered cd player, a fishing pole and an islander who only speaks in click-sounds. What do you do?

Explain the government acquisition process if you were the government.
