A quick pop culture rorschach test:
1-When you look at the above comic book cover you see...?
a)The timeless tale of man verus radioactive mutant unicorn of course!
b)The Silver Age of Comics at its finest.
c)A snapshot of the male subconscious wrestling with puberty.
d)...daddy!
e)________ (fill in the blank)
2- If you had to guess how did the Mighty Samson find himself having to battle a mutant unicorn in the first place?
3- How did the Mighty Samson lose his eye?
4- Would this make a killer tattoo or what?
5- What song comes to mind as a possible soundtrack to this story?
6- You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down... (it doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical)... you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?
Okay that's it.
Thanks for your cooperation and we'll be back with your results sometime next week.
