For interviewing people, just try to get a feel for them as a person, and if they'll fit your company's line. Any idiot knows how to lie and answer regular interview questions (that being said, using basic questions is still good to weed out people too dumb to lie). The trick is to figure out who they are, and if they're going to suck. I've generally found the more intelligent a conversation I can have with the interviewee, the better they'll be.
But it also depends on the position. You don't want a bunch of super smart janitors. That's a Good Will Hunting waiting to happen!
It's for analysts in pharma.

What are your credentials? Any experience with analytical chemistry?

Some of this stuff may be common sense, but sometimes it doesn't tingle...
Ah crap. Now I'm even more nervous and we don't even have an interview lined up yet.

I hate those questions. It's depressing to think I'll be taking those cliche routes.

I always said that my top question would be "Who is Peter Mayhew?" I might just have to go with that if I'm in a pinch.
