The Week Contest
This week’s question: A company in Israel has created
an edible rib-eye steak, complete with authentic fatty
marbling, using a 3D printer that lays down layer after
layer of lab-grown animal cells. If a restaurateur were
to open a chain of steakhouses that served up only
3D-printed meat, what should the eateries be called?
Last week’s contest: A Louisiana woman who used
Gorilla Glue to keep her hair in place—and soon found
she couldn’t remove the stuff—blamed the company,
complaining that the glue’s labeling only warns against
getting the product “in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.” If
a movie studio were to make a drama about her ordeal,
what should the film be titled?
THE WINNER: “As Glued As It Gets”
Bob Colman, Palm Desert, Calif.
SECOND PLACE: “Dry Hard With a Vengeance”
David Buch, Langhorne, Pa.
THIRD PLACE: “Epoxylypse Ow”
Amy Torchinsky, Chapel Hill, N.C.
