U.S. Passport Insanity: Read it and be amazed!
http://j.mp/Qw8TgT (Papers Please)
"Early last year, the State Department proposed a new "Biographical
Questionnaire" for passport applicants, which would have required
anyone selected to receive the new long-form DS-5513 to answer
bizarre and intrusive personal trivia questions about everything
from whether you were circumcised (and if so, with what
accompanying religious rituals) to the dates of all of your
mother's pre- and post-natal medical appointments, your parents'
addresses one year before you were born, every address at which
you have ever resided, and your lifetime employment history
including the names and phone numbers of each of your supervisors
at every job you have ever held."
