Wouldn't Pestilential Bunny be an awesome heavy metal band name? Or how about Weeping Hearse? I must say, one of my favorite things about real or fake quizzes is coming up with the fake answers — particularly in the case of heavy metal band names.

The heavy metal genre is hardly lacking in ridiculous band names and over-the-top album covers — in the case of Manowar here, we get both.
This is one arena where the real names sound too good to be true, so can you tell which ones actually are? Take my quiz and see if you can thrash out the authentic evildoers from the devilish death-metal deceivers.

Sometimes I forget that So You Think You Can Dance's Adam Shankman is also heavily involved in the movie biz — he directed 2007's remake Hairspray and recently produced 17 Again. Now the booty shakin' judge just scored a deal to direct and choreograph another movie musical, the Broadway hit Rock of Ages.
The stage show debuted in 2006 and revolves around the hits of '80s glam/hair/metal rock bands.

Back in my early high school years, I rocked a mouthful of metal. In fact, my mom even got her bottom teeth realigned right along with me. Fortunately, my classmates didn't hassle me, calling out oh-so-original names like brace-face, railroad tracks, or tin-teeth.

Treatment
Psoriasis that develops on the hands or feet is often very difficult to treat. However, an advanced clinical trial showed that a medication called efalizumab (Raptiva) effectively cleared or nearly cleared moderate-to-severe symptoms in adults after 12 weeks.
Several studies have shown that most people with severe psoriasis who are treated with infliximab (Remicade) have significant improvement in symptoms by week 10.

Drug Approval
In 2006, the FDA approved the use of clopidogrel (Plavix) for patients who have had a STEMI heart attack and who will not be having angioplasty. A STEMI is a very severe type of heart attack caused by sudden and total artery blockage.
Angioplasty and Stents
Surgery with angioplasty and stents that is performed more than 3 days after a heart attack offers no advantage over standard drug therapy for clinically stable patients, indicates an important 2006 New England Journal of Medicine study.

Angioplasty Versus Drugs
Angioplasty works no better than drug therapy (high blood pressure, cholesterol, anti-platelet, and other medication) in preventing heart attack and stroke in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), according to an important New England Journal of Medicine study. Experts still recommend angioplasty for patients with unstable or severe CAD.
Stents
- Stents coated with drugs may have a slightly higher risk of causing blood clots than bare metal stents, according to FDA meetings held in late 2006.
