The question "Who is buried in Grant's Tomb?" is a trick question. People think it's a joke, "Oh, it's Grant of course...".

But they're wrong. It's Grant and his wife Julia Dent Grant.

He and his wife are both buried in the tomb.

Hmm...I thought I heard on Paul Harvey that no one is actually buried in Grant's Tomb. His body was never recovered.
