QUESTION: Products
What product was named after the bull that was designed to be the husband of Elsie the Cow?
ANSWER: Presidents
Lyndon B. Johnson
The Great Society was a set of domestic political programs in the United States launched by U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. Two main goals of the Great Society social reforms were the elimination of poverty and racial injustice. President Johnson first used the term "Great Society" during a speech at Ohio University, then unveiled the program in greater detail at an appearance at University of Michigan. New major spending programs that addressed education, medical care, urban problems, and transportation were launched during this period. The program and its initiatives were subsequently promoted by him and fellow Democrats in Congress in the 1960s and years following. The Great Society in scope and sweep resembled the New Deal domestic agenda of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

ANSWER: Movies
Eric Stoltz
Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly for Back to the Future in 1985 but he was replaced after five weeks of filming, when Michael J. Fox (the director's first choice for the role) agreed to divide time between the movie and his television sitcom, Family Ties. The director, Robert Zemeckis, said that while Stoltz provided an admirable performance, it lacked the precise comedic sense that Zemeckis was seeking.
