PZ's Mutant Meme

I've been hit by Brian at Laelaps. That makes my ancestry:

My great-great-great-great-grandparent is Pharyngula
My great-great-great-grandparent is Metamagician and the Hellfire Club
My great-great-grandparent is Flying Trilobite
My great-grandparent is A Blog Around the Clock
My grand parent is The Primate Diaries
My parent is Laelaps

And now my contribution to the meme pool;

The best time travel novel in SF/Fantasy is:
The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers

The best scary movie in the monster genre is:
Jurassic Park

The best novel in humorous thrillers is:
One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night by Christopher Brookmyre

The best romantic song in musical theater is:
"I Chose Right" as sung by John Barrowman

And in my passive fashion, I pass this on to...

Mr Verb (or anyone over there)
headsup: the blog
Wishydig
Incunabular
archy
Dr Biobrain

But since I'm not all that into propagation, anyone who doesn't feel like participating is of course free to ignore the tag...

(Here are the rules, by the way:)

There are a set of questions below that are all of the form, "The best [subgenre] [medium] in [genre] is...". Copy the questions, and before answering them, you may modify them in a limited way, carrying out no more than two of these operations:

* You can leave them exactly as is.

* You can delete any one question.

* You can mutate either the genre, medium, or subgenre of any one question. For instance, you could change "The best time travel novel in SF/Fantasy is..." to "The best time travel novel in Westerns is...", or "The best time travel movie in SF/Fantasy is...", or "The best romance novel in SF/Fantasy is...".

* You can add a completely new question of your choice to the end of the list, as long as it is still in the form "The best [subgenre] [medium] in [genre] is...".

* You must have at least one question in your set, or you've gone extinct, and you must be able to answer it yourself, or you're not viable.

Then answer your possibly mutant set of questions. Please do include a link back to the blog you got them from, to simplify tracing the ancestry, and include these instructions.

Finally, pass it along to any number of your fellow bloggers. Remember, though, your success as a Darwinian replicator is going to be measured by the propagation of your variants, which is going to be a function of both the interest your well-honed questions generate and the number of successful attempts at reproducing them.
