Quirky quiz questions

I'm trying desperately to finish a quiz for tomorrow. It's made up of deliberately unusual, quirky and downright trick questions, grouped into pairs by subject. A couple of examples would be:

"In 1972, who released an album entitled "Dark Side of the Moon?"
Medicine Head - the Pink Floyd album of the same name was released in 1973.

"In the Ancient Roman army, how many soldiers were commanded by a centurion?"
80 - the word "centurion" has nothing to do with 100.

I'm presently looking for a pair for this question:
"Who played the title character in the 1981 Bill Forsyth film Gregory's Girl?"
Claire Grogan - although Dee Hepburn played the female lead, her character was never Gregory's girlfriend.

I.e. a film where the title character isn't who most people think it is.

Or, if anyone knows any other quirky quiz questions, I'd be grateful.

Bit of a stretch for a "pair", Mark, but this is one I put in a quiz once.............

1 What was introduced in 1969, that resulted in a dramatic decline in the UK suicide rate.

2 What was introduced in 1993 that also reduced the rate considerably.

Just for fun, perhaps you'd like to think about them before I give you the answaers.
