How about:
*	Name 5 adjectives to describe this site
*	Without using the mouse, can you point out to me what items on
this page are links to other places?

In my experience though, you need to be a little bit careful here. When
there is a not a lot to test, I know I sometime have a tendency to ask
too many "what do you think?" type questions, which steps away from the
behavioural observation that we are trying to do with user testing.

Good luck,
Trent
