I'm admittedly guilty of asking "What's wrong", because I too don't like attempting the twenty-question guessing game to determine the reason for an aberration in one's moods. As for "what are you thinking," I've always had an unique ability to select appropriate vocabulary very quickly. I generally answer this question very literally, and in very particular detail. I think it ends up teaching people that they don't ask unless they want to hear a rather verbose recounting of my previous minute or so worth of thought.
It is, quite often, random meanderings about something I've just heard or thought about, so often my response is something like "I was just thinking about how amazing Bernoulli's principle is, and that we take it for granted when we're flying through the air that if it weren't true, we'd immediately crash into the ground."
