Here's another probability one:

You meet a woman who tells you she has two kids and one of them is a girl. What is the probability that the other kid is also a girl?

This one is more along the logic lines, but it gets some people:

A teen driver and his father are in a horrible car crash. The father dies and the teenager suffers major brain injury. He is transported by helicoptor to the hospital to be treated by the nation's top neuro-surgeon. When he gets into surgery the neurosurgeon says "I can't operate on my own son". How is this possible?

When I was a kid I thought Alaska was bigger than Canada because Alaska was the biggest state.

This seems like more of an interpretation of the phrasing than a question about probability. I'm still not exactly sure what the answer is because the question isn't worded very well.
