You see, that’s the problem with these things. It’s easy to find things that don’t belong.

Very true…if you require the “right” answer! I knew that people would see different patterns in the lists, and figured we might have some fun with it. What the heck, it’s just a game.
I asked the question in the OP to people at work today. Three people got the “right” answer, but only one got the “pet store” answer. One guy said, “A Wolverine! It’s a marsupial, right?”
Should we include hints and/or answer spoilers in our posts?
James Mason
Wavy Gravy
Henry Fonda
Joseph Cotton
George Bret
Hint:answer can be discovered with one click from wikipedia’s home page today
Answer: All were born on May 15th, except for Henry Fonda

I was going to guess that “kelly” can’t be legitimately played in Scrabble, but I was apparently wrong.

“Kelly” is the only one not commonly used as a stage name by topless dancers.
Both interesting guesses, but neither was what I was thinking of.

Chartreuse is the only one not named for something that occurs in nature. (One understands that Irishmen are a natural occurance.)

First thought: kelly’s properly “kelly green” while the others are often used by themselves as color names.
Or, teal’s commonly seen as a shade of blue, while the others are commonly seen as shades of green.

Hint:No other president could be substituted in the list and have the question still work. The wikipedia entry for Benjamin Harrison has the information you need.Answer:[spoiler]Pope Pius XII is the odd man out. The others all had jobs where their predecessor was also their successor.
George Lazenby took the role of James Bond for one movie, and then Sean Connery came back.
Hugh Downs hosted the Tonight Show for a month when Jack Paar walked off suddenly to protest censorship of one of his jokes, and then returned.
Benjamin Harrison was president between the two terms of Grover Cleveland.[/spoiler]
Hint:There’s a member here who should get this right away. She just bought a new car.Alternate answer:[spoiler]Two-by-four is the odd man out. The others are all entertainment titles.
Polyester is a 1981 John Waters movie.
Centipede is a video game.
The Dark Side of the Moon is a Pink Floyd album.[/spoiler]Real answer:[spoiler]Polyester is the odd man out. The others are all misnomers.
A centipede does not have 100 feet.
After drying, a typical two-by-four is smaller than two inches by four inches.
The dark side of the moon faces away from the Earth, but still gets as much sunlight as the side that faces us.
Polyester is made up of chains of compounds called ‘esters’.[/spoiler]
