That is one option, but remember that the table no longer floats in 
that case. This is sometimes a feature you want, sometimes not.

Yes, that is not too hard, I think. Why ask if you already know the 
answer?
You should of course have looked on the FAQ:

Nothing, at least after you read the FAQ.

To appear less grumpy, and maybe even helpful, here is an example:

\begin{table}
\caption{Table with footnotes}
\label{tbl:withfootnotes}
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\thempfootnote}
	\renewcommand{\footnoterule}{} % remove separator between table and 
footnote, optional
\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}}lll}
blah & blah\footnote{but not the same blah} & And some more blah
\end{tabular*}
\end{minipage}
\end{table}
