Best Answer

The riddle of "Who is buried in Grant's Tomb" was first told by Groucho Marx on his game show, "You Bet Your Life". The Answer is "Grant" meaning Ulysses S. Grant. However the reason its a riddle is because it is impossible to be "burried" in a tomb because a tomb is usually above ground, like a mosoleum. Technically you can only be "burried" in a grave. Grave is in the dirt, Crypt is underground, and Tomb is above ground.

Who is buried in Grant's tomb?

The answer to this riddle asked regularly by host Groucho Marx on the game show "You Bet Your Life" as a consolation question is "no one"Grant and his wife Julia are entombed in Grant's tomb but nobody is buried there. The coffins are not actually buried since they are not in the ground. The tomb is actually a memorial.The National Park Service website says that Grant's Tomb does, in fact, contain the bodies of President and Mrs. Grant. Why the mix-up? Well, the old joke is "Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?" and the answer is "no one." Grant's tomb is a mausoleum (North America's largest, 150 feet high), which means that the bodies are contained above ground. In order to be buried, you have to rest underneath Mother Earth herself. So, nobody's buried in Grant's Tomb, but the remains of the Grants are there anyway.The answer is U.S.Grant. The tomb stood empty for years before his body was re interred in it due to lengthy construction. So it was a running joke for years when the answer was "nobody!"
