The Week Contest
This week’s question: Two women ages 34 and 44
showed up at a Florida Covid vaccination site disguised
as old ladies, complete with bonnets and spectacles, in an
attempt to jump the inoculation line. If Hollywood were to
make a crime caper about the bogus grannies’ attempt to
score vaccine shots, what should it title the movie?
Last week’s contest: A company in Israel has created an
edible rib-eye steak, complete with authentic fatty mar-
bling, 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?
THE WINNER: Zero-ox
Nalini Quraeshi, Kalamazoo, Mich.
SECOND PLACE: Hoof Prints
Carl Benkley, Carlisle, Mass.
THIRD PLACE: Outback Fakehouse
Dave Ronak, Neenah, Wis.
