Some good points all around. One thing I can add is be prepared for some oddball questions. Sometimes interviewers ask crazy stuff just to observe reaction and thought process. I had one recently where I was asked how many ping-pong balls would fit in the building we were in. I simply replied at first with…wow. I then proceeded to guess..which I could have done better. If you freeze or feel you goof up, just take a quick breath and reply best as possible and move on, let the rest of the interview be allright.
Good luck

Please try and keep up - it's no fun having a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

i suggest when you are done the interview to ask them if it is ok to phone them in a week or so just to follow up, it may work differently when multiple people are interviewing you though.

Exactly what I would have said, just to buy time…while trying to come up with an even better smart ass remark.
