True. I have little doubt that my right answer will lose to wrong answers on 13.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

I have horrible answers for both of the next two, but I figured almost everyone would. Unless a bunch of retarded sheep put something like TNN on 13.

Even if I could have looked at this list while answering, I would have had no idea what to put for #13. Mojo or CNNfn, I guess?

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

Any guesses?
