I want to start using a new last name, but it's likely going to be several months before I can officially change it. What problems could come up if I start using my new name now?

SongIDFilter: Can anyone identify
this song? It's from a compilation CD, and I have no distinguishing information other than the song itself. It sounds quite familiar, but no-one I've asked has been able to place it. It seems rather cinematic, making me think that it's from a film score, but that's really all I have to go on. Any leads would be much appreciated.

At a cocktail party last weekend, an Anthropologist was telling me about an experiment/study where people were shown videos of various animals preying on one another, and then measured their reactions. The findings, he contends, were that humans were largely more sympathetic to the deaths of animals more similar to themselves (i.e. sharing a more recent common ancestor).
What is this study, what is this area of research called, and where can I read more about it?

I vaguely remember an animated movie I saw in the '80s. I'm pretty
sure it was on Beta, so it was the early '80s at that. It was almost,
but not quite, Ralph Bakshi-style animation. A lot of the stories,
which I think were just brief vignettes, were based on Greek
mythology. I distinctly remember really creepy medusae. One story,
involving temptation of some kind, had a really sultry female voice
seducing the female character on-screen into some kind of unpleasant
action.

Can you please ID
this tree? The little pods (for lack of a better word) have the smell of a mix between honeysuckle and gardenia. Any ideas what kind of tree this is? The largest size shows the best detail. Thanks!

I saw a guy with an olive green shirt that had several rifles lined up in silhouette on front. In the middle of the rifles was a pink silhouette of a guitar. The back left shoulder had a small badge that said "Music is the weapon of the future" on it. Where can I find this shirt for sale? The person wearing it said it was a gift and he didn't know where it came from.

BotanicalFilter: What kind of plant is this?
Posted a photo of an unknown (because I'm ignorant of such things) plant found in Southern Spain to Flickr. Now other Flickr-ites and botanists are arguing over the correct identification: Carob or Tamarind seem favourite. Do Mefites know better? Photo and comments so far at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/andresv/290458848/. Comments on this forum or flickr welcome. Thanks.
