Question 746: Heaven or Hell

Glenn Frey described the origins of the song:

The song began as a demo tape, an instrumental by Don Felder. He’d been submitting tapes and song ideas to us since he’d joined the band, always instrumentals, since he didn’t sing. But this particular demo, unlike many of the others, had room for singing. It immediately got our attention. The first working title, the name we gave it, was ‘Mexican Reggae'.

Question 723: These guys kill a lot of our people, and I think Buddha will forgive me

Adams watched as two soldiers pulled a prisoner out of a doorway at the end of the street. The soldiers then pushed and pulled what appeared to be a ___Y___in a plaid shirt, his arms tied behind his back. They escorted the man toward the spot where Adams and Vo Su were located.

"Eddie Adams said, 'I just followed the three of them as they walked towards us, making an occasional picture. When they were close - maybe five feet away - the soldiers stopped and backed away. I saw a man walk into my camera viewfinder from the left. He took a pistol out of his holster and raised it. I had no idea he would shoot. It was common to hold a pistol to the head of prisoners during questioning. So I prepared to make that picture - the threat, the interrogation. But it didn't happen. The man just pulled a pistol out of his holster, raised it to the ___Y___'s head and shot him in the temple. I made a picture at the same time.' "The prisoner fell to the pavement, blood gushing," Buell, quoting Eddie. "After a few more pictures of the dead man, Adams left.

THis picture went on to define the war __X__ and was voted as Life's 100 pictures that defined the 21st century.

Question 712: Kermit is no Hermit

Robot Chicken as a show isn't known for having a lasting impression, but this character created as an antithesis to kermit is a pun upon the actual character's name. This 80's go getter went on to define a generation, although his later avatar was a huge disappointment as a mere anticlimatic antihero.

SO ID the character here (not kermit) and who he is based upon from the world of cinema.

Question 701: Which Star do they follow?

It is believed the majority of self-reported __X__ claimed the religion for their own amusement, to poke fun at the government, or as a protest against the inclusion of the religion question on the census form.

In England and Wales 390,127 people (almost 0.8%) stated their religion as ___X___ on their 2001 Census forms, surpassing Sikhism, Judaism, and Buddhism, and making it the fourth largest reported religion in the countries. In the 2001 Census 2.6% of the population of Brighton claimed to be ___X__. The percentages of religious affiliations were:

• Christian: 70.0%
• No religion: 14.7%
• Chose not to respond: 7.8%
• Muslim: 3.1%
• Hindu: 2.1%
• __X__ 0.7%

SO ID X

Question 699: Hair today Gown Tomorrow

Possible reasons for __X__ being part of the attire for the ceremony __Y__ are as follows:

** 1). The shape was derived from the master workman's mortar board.
** 2). The cap was meant to resemble the quadrangular shape of the English university campus.
** 3). The shape symbolized the "squareness" of both the ____ and his articles. In those days, we presume, squareness was a positive trait.


In Roman law, a slave was freed when he was allowed to wear __X__. This symbol of emancipation might have been the inspiration for Oxford adopting the practice of giving  __X__ to the recipient of a Master's of Art when he graduated. The  __X__symbolized independence for the former bachelor.

Question 693: Glorified Tubelights aren't they?

The following is a description of the choreography behind the use of __X__ in __Y__

I developed different styles for the characters, and gave each of them a flaw or a bonus. So with ___ for instance, he's got a very business-like style — when he was younger he could border on the flashy and might twirl his __X__ a bit, because he was taught by Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon was brash, that rubbed off on ____ and ____ then taught _____, who was way too old to learn anyway... I think the style really worked well. The ___Z____ style of fighting is an amalgamation of all the great sword fighting styles. Melding them together is the difficult part — to move from a Kendo style to, say, Rapier requires a complete change in body and feet movement, and this must look effortless. The style moves seamlessly between the different disciplines, but remains technically correct throughout. It's unlike any other style of fighting and I think it's beautiful to watch.

SO ID X & Y

Question 687: Beezlebubbly isn't she

Namesake of the novel, the __X__, is a pig's head that has been cut off by Jack, put on a stick sharpened at both ends, stuck in the ground, and left as an offering to the "beast". Created out of fear, the __X__ used to be a mother sow who, though at one time clean, loving, and innocent, has now become a manically smiling, bleeding image of horror. Near the end of the book, while Ralph is being hunted down, he strikes this twice in one moment of blind anger, causing it to crack and fall on the ground with a grin "now six feet across" This transformation parallels the transformation that Jack and the boys have undergone during their time in the island. The name "__X__" is a literal English translation of Beelzebub, a demonic figure that is often considered synonymous with Satan.

Question 685: Thats the way I Roll

Arguably amongst the most well recognized internet trolls ever conceived, ___X__ was purported to be the brain of 4chan & eventually spread all over the net, mostly to the website __Y__ where it was a way to deal with heavy internet traffic.
ID X & Y

Question 659: Mission Emission?

__X___ arose in response to ___Y___ who taught that the position was the only proper way to engage in sexual intercourse. This explanation probably originated from Alfred Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male through a confluence of misunderstandings and misinterpretations of historical documents. However, prior to Kinsey, at least in Western civilization, writing about sex and sex positions was largely forbidden and so the absence of references to that term may reflect that, not the absence of use of the phrase. Tuscans refer to the position as "The Angelic Position" while some Arabic-speaking groups call it "the manner of serpents."

__X__  known by several names, including "the matrimonial", "the Mama-Papa position", "the English-American position", and "the male superior position".

FOr more obvious reasons, __X__ can't be shown here

Question 637: Hit, Split or Surrender

The first written reference is found in a book by the Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes, who is most famous for writing Don Quixote. Cervantes was a gambler, and the main characters of his tale Rinconete y Cortadillo, from Novelas Ejemplares, are a couple of cheaters working in Seville. They are proficient at cheating at ventiuna (Spanish for __X__), and state that the object of the game is to reach __X__ without busting and other such modern rules. The game is played with the Spanish baraja deck, which lacks eights, nines and tens. This short story was written between 1601 and 1602, implying that ventiuna was played in Castilia since the beginning of the 17th Century or earlier. Later references to this game are found in France and Spain.

Question 632: Kim Kardashian Is Dead!

Ok not really, but that must've got all nerds (if Nihar is still alive after the shock, he should post a question in the evening,lol).

But this picture was released as part of a digital campaign by Alicia Keyes for her ___X___ campaign, which is against ___Y___.  Other A-list celebs ( are they?) like Usher, Justin Timberlake, Serena Williams and more are taking part in the “Digital Sacrifice” campaign by signing off of social media platforms twitter and facebook (now if Nihar posts a question, i shall be shocked) on World __Y__ Day. They will log back on once 1 million dollars is raised by the charity.

According to reports, each celeb has also filmed “last tweet and testament” videos and will appear in ads showing them lying in coffins.

“It’s so important to shock you to the point of waking up”, says Alicia Keys of the campaign. “It’s not that people don’t care or it’s not that people don’t want to do something, it’s that they never thought of it quite like that. This is such a direct and instantly emotional way and a little sarcastic, you know, of a way to get people to pay attention.
Leigh Blake, President of ___X__, added “We’re trying to sort of make the remark: Why do we care so much about the death of one celebrity as opposed to millions and millions of people dying in the place that we’re all from?”

Question 623: Wang Johnson is here?

Life suggested that __X___ originated with REME, and noted that a symbol for alternating current, a sine wave through a straight line, resembles __X__, that the plus and minus signs in his eyes represent polarity, and that his fingers are symbols of electrical resistance. The character is usually drawn in Australia with pluses and minuses as eyes and the nose and eyes resemble a distorted sine wave.
