safire2191 Jun 10, 2008	Hot head works too =)
brainyboy615 Jun 10, 2008	The first tme I submitted it, the answer was hot head... but the editors told me to change it to dead head.
kunju Jun 10, 2008	was very hard
lgleaves Jun 10, 2008	i really thought it was hot head, but if the editors told you something else... i still think hot head would have been better. do ya know who the editors were? =] it was good either way!
luckylefty Jun 10, 2008	That's dumb that they told you to change it
brainyboy615 Jun 10, 2008	I agree.
dswilborn Jun 10, 2008	Completely agree - hot head seems much more logical.
arcwolf Jun 11, 2008	I got hothead too.
Hadleigh Jun 11, 2008	Hot head was the first thing I thought of too. But at 150 degrees, it is probably DEAD
karenokupniak Jun 12, 2008	Dead head makes for a much tougher quiz, but hothead is the most logical answer.
wolfpackw2 Jun 12, 2008	"Hot Head" makes a LOT more sense. If you want to consider reality, a head temp of 150 would more than likely result in a body temp of the same. And if the head IS dead from being 150 degrees, that would imply that the body is dead also.
treyflip3 Jun 12, 2008	i was thinking hot head
jmichalek0121 Jun 12, 2008	i, too, went for "hot head"...
brainster Jun 14, 2008	I went straight for hot head too. Clever one.
brickhome Jun 15, 2008	would never have guessed "dead head" ... good teaser
seanlandrews Jul 08, 2008	I got "hot head", don't think dead head is very good.
adrena Jul 13, 2008	love it
coltonr1 Jul 14, 2008	I dislikes that.... Sorry, but one they changed it, and two that was a very boring.
unklemyke Jul 16, 2008	BrainBoy- Why did you pick 150 degrees for the head temp? If you watch ER or House, etc. you soon learn that any temp above 103 or so for any extended period of time (24 hrs plus or minus) starts to kill brain cells, 150 would certainly fry all the circuits, which is why the editors specified (brain)dead head, I'm sure. Cute teaser, anyhoo.
Bgjhn Jul 17, 2008	I can see why the editors wanted it to be "dead-head;" there was an old rock band "the grateful dead," and their legions of fans were often referred as "dead-heads." But why reference that in "body temp" not "music"?
brainyboy615 Jul 18, 2008	unklemyke, I just picked a random number. I didn't do that much research.
tintiniscool Jul 21, 2008	I'll just pretend that it said hothead... Funny teaser!
oddrey Aug 23, 2008	I think the editors should have told you to lower the tempurature some rather than change the answer.
mumbojumbo1234 Dec 26, 2008	....
Jimbo Jan 11, 2009	Hot head surely.
tonjawithaj Feb 20, 2009	I agree with tintin...I'll pretend it said hot-head.
bradon182001 Jun 04, 2009	Either answer fits. Thanks for posting.
thebrain789 May 23, 2010	I was thinking "hot-headed."
