If you have a 12-volt 25 amp battery, and the alternator fails, how long will the battery provide usable electrical power?

*Depends on how much you are drawing from the battery at the time.

What makes the air moving over the top of the wing stay on the wing?

*Laminar flow (or well behaved air..."Stay. Good boy.")

How do you preflight the gyroscopic instruments?

*Tell them to remain seated at all times for ground operations, fasten seatbelts and no smoking.

If we select gear up on the Piper Arrow and one of the gears does not fully retract, how do we identify which one is not fully retracted?

*Ask your passenger to get out and look.

List six signs of an approaching stall in a fixed-wing aircraft.

*My flight instructor grabbing the controls, my flight instructor asking what I am doing...

Explain the long-term effects of overloading an aircraft.

*The Atkins diet.

Is carburetor heat de-ice or anti-ice? Why?

*Actually, neither. The carburetor is anti-Bush for a number of reasons.

When we use an altimeter setting, what are we telling the altimeter?

*That we don't respect them as an instrument, but can be selfishly satisfied as long as they let us use them.

Really Flyboy - Seriously, I do enjoy your tech trivia threads, please keep them coming. I'm too fried from the hurricanes to answer them correctly today, but will come back to it over the weekend to take a stab at it with my best guesses.
