The Wit Test of The Future!
1) Serena, a goth chick at heart, grows up to be the head of the National Weather Bureau. What does she name her child?
Bob, of course. Duh.
2) In the future, scientists will solve the problem of world hunger by crossing sheep with mice to produce "Meep". They will also splice mice with pigs to produce the less popular "Mork: The Other White Meep". What other combination will be made? (include new names)
Mice will be crossed with Turkey, to become Murky, which will be known for indistinguishable shade of grey/brown.
3) In the future, people will finally think for themselves (OK, distant future). Predict what effect this will have on the pop music, movie, and fashion industries.
They will most likely cease to exist. Quietly, and in a puff of orange smoke. So there.

The Wit Test of The Future!
1) Serena, a goth chick at heart, grows up to be the head of the National Weather Bureau. What does she name her child?
Marilyn Dewpoint Manson
2) In the future, scientists will solve the problem of world hunger by crossing sheep with mice to produce "Meep". They will also splice mice with pigs to produce the less popular "Mork: The Other White Meep". What other combination will be made? (include new names)
Cross pigs with sheep to produce peeps which can be covered in a sugary syrup to make marshmallow peeps. Yams, sheep and chocolate snack cakes are combined to make Yamalambadingdongs.
3) In the future, people will finally think for themselves (OK, distant future). Predict what effect this will have on the pop music, movie, and fashion industries.
There will be no more "pop" music, movies will be good, and people will take to wearing comfortable clothes that actually fit and are sized with numbers that make you feel good!

Cumulus Augustus, called Mulie for short
2) In the future, scientists will solve the problem of world hunger by crossing sheep with mice to produce "Meep". They will also splice mice with pigs to produce the less popular "Mork: The Other White Meep". What other combination will be made? (include new names)
They could splice mice with cows to produce "Meef: It's What's For Dinner" or (mice) with chicken to produce "Micken: M-I-C see ya real soon, K-E-When when? when you get ageda From This New-Fang'ed Food!"
3) In the future, people will finally think for themselves (OK, distant future). Predict what effect this will have on the pop music, movie, and fashion industries.
I agree with Id, but the smoke will be green and all the money ever spent on pop culture will rain down from the sky, making the future people very, very rich and (hopefully) very happy.

For question one, Serena's child does have a name one could determine from the clues: a)she is goth b)the child is refered to without gender. The correct answer is "Winter" the most popular, genderless, goth name.
The Score:
Theory 1, 2
Broelan 2, 3
Id 1, 2, 3
Shea 1, 2
Alex 1, 2
Id is the winner!

Re: "*Lady* Alexandra? Pray tell..."
Well, Spike, as Duchess of Doofdom I am due the title of Lady. Go to my personal space for more information about Doofdom, but be forewarned that I just started changing stuff yesterday. I have a looong way to go. Mostly I stuck that in there because it sounds good, to be quite honest with you. Sshhh...don't tell anyone...
