Hopefully this is a fun idea for a game. The object is to guess the two people or characters used to make each of ten morphs (if you aren’t sure what a morph is, you’ll soon see once you click on the picture link below). Rules: - Please don’t read other people’s answers before submitting your own. - Please don’t browse the MorphThing site before submitting your answers. - Please submit your answers in the format below. 1. Danny Devito & Joe Pesci (for example) 2. face 1 & face 2 3. face 1 & face 2 … 4. face 1 & face 2 Here are the [morphs](http://www.flickr.com/photos/48150023@N07/sets/72157624413483403/detail/). (I can’t take any credit for no. 10, it showed up on the MorphThing site when I was looking for ideas). There are 2 answers for each morph, so marks will be out of 20. I’ll mark it when we have about 50 entries, or in a couple days if we don’t get that many. All morphs were created using the [MorthThing](http://www.morphthing.com/) site. ---

Actually, I think 10 is Sylvester Stallone and Yoda, but Alfred E. Newman is funnier. Good game, BTW. ---

OK, I really hope #1 isn’t really part Britney Spearsbecause I’d feel really dirty about finding her attractive. ---

Munch’s the Scream mistaken for Cher, and Yoda mistaken for Mickey Rourke. What were people’s thoughts on the game?

I only scored 2. Daniel Radcliffe != Elijah Wood. > [@](#): > > Is the fact that she’s half Christina Aguilera any consolation? Not particularly… I mean, she’s better than Britney Spears, but then, so’s everyone. ---

No, that wasn’t a guess, I looked at other peoples’ answers after I had mine submitted. ---
