Christine O'Donnell: Take our quiz

10. Which of the 'not ready for prime-time players' portrayed O'Donnell in the season opener of 'Saturday Night Live'?

A) Tina Fey
B) Kristen Wiig
C) Amy Poehler
D) Andy Samberg

(Answer on next page.)

Previous answer: B

O'Donnell told Bill O'Reilly, "American scientific companies are crossbreeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains." Had she said "brain cells" instead of brains, she would have been accurate (although she would have also needed to take out the part about the human-animal crossbreeding). In 2005, scientists used human embryonic stem cells to successfully grow brain cells within the brains of fetal mice. After the implantation, those animals' brains were still more than 99 percent mouse.
