66. Of the options listed
I picked Coyote v Roadrunner.

I live in Minneapolis, and have never heard of this crosstown rivalry between us, who are clearly superior and St. Paul, which houses the state legislature and capital buildings, and the repuglicon of a governor we have right now in Tim Pawlenty.
