Try this one on for size:

CREATE TABLE Customers ( Name VARCHAR(100) );

Now ... if your customers have names in Japanese, Russian and German, 
how do you compile MySQL so it can store them all in Customers?  You use 
Unicode with a binary field and do post-processing work (like ORDER BY) 
yourself.
