One of my favourite questions to a call-in science radio show was "did dinosaurs evolve into birds before they became extinct or after?"
The reason I like it so much was not the question, but how the host responded. The "duh, after extinction there'd be nothing left to evolve", was quite obvious, but he didn't go there. He expanded on the evolutionary tree and explained how birds came to be, and how the question was kind-of off, without humiliating the person who asked.
I like that.
