You are sitting in a canoe, in a swimming pool, holding a cannon ball in 
your lap. You throw the cannonball overboard, and it sinks to the 
bottom. Does the level of water in the pool go up, go down, or stay the 
same?

(I've asked this of probably a dozen or more scuba dive instructors, and 
only one has gotten it right. The reasoning behind the correct answer is 
obvious once you hear it. I don't remember if I got it right when I 
heard it.)

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.
