Not something that the reader says, "Huh, interesting" to, but something that reaches out, grabs the reader by the throat and drags them in. Beginning your intro with an appropriate quote is often pretty sweet. A personal favorite of mine is to paint a picture in the reader's mind ("Imagine a room; a room so full of debris and refuse...").
