Weirdest question

I was thining about the weirdest question I have ever been asked at the reference desk recently...

And the winner goes along the lines of:

Dene: "Hello reference desk Dene speaking".
Caller: "Hello, yes I'm wondering how many people have died".
Dene: Silence........."Pardon? Died where? During a war... The road toll....".
Caller: "No, I was just wondering how many people have died....ever".

But stranger still, a quick Google search managed to find a site that had worked it out based on a long complicated formula. I gave the guy the figure, and he was satisfied.

That brings me to my next weirdest question. The same guy rang back a week later and asked how many people have died in the past week so he could update his figures.
