text: 10 point fast...trivia? 1st right answer  who is buried in grant's tomb?  be specific the "who's buried in grant's tomb?" joke stems from a 1950s game show; it was supposed to be an easy question, but the contestants thought it was a trap and got it wrong. so for the last time, who is buried there? well, no one actually. mr. and mrs. grant are not buried. their sarcophagi lie above ground.
