What kinds of questions may people ask when presenting a poster (or even a paper- just your research in some way)?
Anyone been asked ridiculous things?

Don't bring handouts. They are a waste of money and trees.
I've actually had a number of people ask me for handouts about posters I've made, although I'm sure there are now electronic ways to handle all that instead if someone would prefer. I definitely wouldn't suggest going overboard on the number of copies, though; 20-25 should likely be enough.
I've found having people write down their email and emailing them the poster or a handout works well. In my experience, people rarely take handouts, even if they are legitimately interested in a poster. Plus, they are probably more likely to refer to something that they have electronically rather than go through and dig out a handout from a conference. YMMV, of course.
You get tables by your poster? I have nothing to set anything on, ever.
I never even get chairs! Man, I feel deprived now.
