Question 711:The best of both worlds?

While our hero, __X__ was training with his father in the Bayankala Mountain Range in some province in China, something rather unexpected happened. __X__ and daddy dearest fell into a cluster of cursed springs. Now the scene with these cursed springs is that whenever someone falls into one of them, they turn into whatever died in the springs long ago whenever they're splashed with cold water. They only way they can return to normal is when they're _______________________.

Now __X__ fell into the spring  of the drowned __Y__ which results in his life changing rather drastically. He initially finds himself in various situations that aren't particularly comfortable, but over time he learns to use this to his advantage and often willfully turns into __Y__ in order to complete certain tasks.

Identify X and Y.
Tell me how they can return to normal.

Question 697: South by Southwest


K. Hanumanthaiah is credited with the conception and construction of the __X__, . The foundation was laid by the then Nehru, on July 13, 1951. However it was Kengal Hanumanthaiah who was instrumental in the redesign and speedy construction of __X__. He visited Europe, Russia, United States and other places and got the idea of building __X__ by incorporating various designs from the buildings he had seen. It was completed in 1956. Kengal Hanumanthaiah took a lot of interest and effort in building this marvelous granite building. The front of the building is inscribed with the words Government's Work is God's Work(LOL!)
The cost of construction at that time was just 17.5 million (1.75 Crore) rupees. But presently, annual maintenance cost itself is more than 20 million rupees (which include repairs, painting, and other miscellaneous expenses).
The building is illuminated on Sundays and public holidays.


WHAT?

Question 690: Black Gold


Id X

Many cartoons from previous decades are routinely edited on international tv (and on some video and DVD collections) today. Usually, the only censorship deemed necessary is the cutting of the occasional perceived racist joke, instance of graphic violence, or scene of a character doing something that parents and watchdog groups fear children will try to imitate (such as smoking, drinking alcohol, ingesting pills and dangerous chemicals freely, playing with fire, and abusing animals).
For example, one classic cartoon gag, most prominent in Tom and Jerry cartoons, is the transformation of characters into a blackfaced caricature after an explosion or an automobile backfire. A script for an episode of Tom and Jerry entitled Mouse Cleaning (1948), had plans to turn Tom into a black-face caricature. Upon questioning by the maid, Tom answers “No, mam. I ain’t seen no cat aroun’ here…uh unh, ain’t no cat, no place, no how-no mam,” in stereotypical African American dialect.Such small amounts of objectionable material only require relatively minor cuts in the cartoon to make it palatable to censors, in spite of objections and sometimes boycotts by fans.

Now the main part..

However, in the case of the ____X______, racist themes are so essential and so completely pervade the cartoons that the copyright holders believe that no amount of selective editing could ever make them acceptable for distribution.

Of the cartoons included in the ___X____ animation historians and film scholars are quickest to defend the two directed by Clampett. Author Michelle Klein-Hass wrote the following:
. . . some even look at Clampett's Jazz cartoons and cry racism when Clampett was incredibly ahead of his time and was a friend to many of the greats of the LA jazz scene. All of the faces you see in Tin Pan Alley Cats and Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs are caricatures of real musicians he hung out with at the Central Avenue jazz and blues clubs of the '40s. He insisted that some of these musicians be in on the recording of the soundtracks for these two cartoons.

Question 651: Detective shows teach us a whole lot

 The Supreme Court of the United States held that an elicited incriminating statement by a suspect will not constitute admissible evidence unless the suspect was informed of the right to decline to make self-incriminatory statements and the right to legal counsel , and makes a knowing, intelligent and voluntary waiver of those rights.


It is supposed to be a safeguard against self-incrimination. As a result, if law enforcement officials decline to offer the warning to an individual in their custody, they may still interrogate that person and act upon the knowledge gained, but may not use that person's statements to incriminate him or her in a criminal trial.








What's the warning called? You would have heard it tonnes of times (Not the name. But the actual warning).

Question 640: Animal fetish?


A __X__ is someone who engages in the act of ________. A __X__ can use various methods to harass his targets. They can be characterised by different behaviour types, all which share the trait of obsessiveness. The sum total of the acts committed by a __X__ is considered to be a criminal offense in some jurisdictions. Certain __X__s may suffer from mental illness. The term is believed to have been coined by the tabloid press in the US. The increased use of the internet in the past few years has encouraged and simplified the process for __X__s(lol) and the widespread use of facebook and the like has taken it to a whole new level.

Question 635: YOu AnD I IN THIS BEaUTIFUL WORLD



"The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. "















Don't bother magnifying the last two. The content is irrelevant.

Tell me who did what and what piece of literature, if it can be called that, ( or propaganda, if you you prefer) came out of it. It's something that's often referred to in many of the 1990s sitcoms. Not that that helps you in any way.

Question 621: Balancing act


Okay, I had saved this question long ago, before I left. I'm just posting it now.
This is an excerpt from __X__:
Well I now have the results here of the interviews and the aptitude tests that you took last week, and from them we've built up a pretty clear picture of the sort of person that you are. And 1 think I can say, without fear of contradiction, that the ideal job for you is _________ ___________.
A: But I am a _________ ___________.
B: Jolly good. Well back to the office with you then.
A: No! No! No! You don't understand. I've been a _________ ___________ for the last twenty years. I want a new job. Something exciting that will let me live.
B: Well _________ ___________ is rather exciting isn't it?
A: Exciting? No it's not. It's dull. Dull. Dull. My God it's dull, it's so desperately dull and tedious and stuffy and boring and des-per-ate-ly DULL.
B: Well, er, yes Mr A, but you see your report here says that you are an extremely dull person. You see, our experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humour, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful. And w/hereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in _________ ___________ they are a positive boon.
A: But don't you see, I came here to find a new job, a new life, a new meaning to my existence. Can't you help me?
B: Well, do you have any idea of what you want to do?
A: Yes, yes I have.
B: What?
A: (boldly) Lion taming.
B: Well yes. Yes. Of course, it's a bit of a jump isn't it? I mean, er, _________ ___________ to lion taming in one go. You don't think it might be better if you worked your way towards lion taming, say, via banking'...
A: No, no, no, no. No. I don't want to wait. At nine o'clock tomorrow I want to be in there, taming.
B: Fine, fine. But do you, do you have any qualifications?
A: Yes, I've got a hat.
B: A hat?
A: 'Yes, a hat. A lion taming hat. A hat with 'lion tamer' on it. I got it at Harrods. And it lights up saying 'lion tamer' in great big neon letters, so that you can tame them after dark when they're less stroppy.
B: I see, I see.
A: And you can switch it off during the day time, and claim reasonable wear and tear as allowable professional expenses under paragraph 335C...
B: Yes, yes, yes, I do follow, Mr Anchovy, but you see the snag is... if I now call Mr Chipperfield and say to him, 'look here, I've got a forty-five-year-old _________ ___________ with me who wants to become a lion tamer', his first question is not going to be 'does he have his own hat?' He's going to ask what sort of experience you've had with lions.
A: Well I ... I've seen them at the zoo.
B: Good, good, good.
A: Lively brown furry things with short stumpy legs and great long noses. I don't know what all the fuss is about, I could tame one of those. They look pretty tame to start with.
B: And these, er, these lions ... how high are they?
A: (indicating a height of one foot) Well they're about so high, you know. They don't frighten me at all.
B: Really. And do these lions eat ants?
A: Yes, that's right.
B: Er, well, Mr A ... I'm afraid what you've got hold of there is an anteater.
A: A what?
B: An anteater. Not a lion. You see a lion is a huge savage beast, about five feet high, ten feet long, weighing about four hundred pounds, running forty miles per hour, with masses of sharp pointed teeth and nasty long razor-sharp claws that can rip your belly open before you can say 'Eric Robinson', and they look like this.
(The counselor produces large picture of a lion and shows to Mr A who screams and passes out.)
B: Time enough I think for a piece of wood.
(CAPTION: 'THE LARCH')
Voice Over: The larch.
(Cut back to office: Mr A sits up with a start.)
B: Now, shall I call Mr Chipperfield?
A: Er, no, no, no. I think your idea of making the transition to lion taming via easy stages, say via insurance...
B: Or banking.
A: Or banking, yes, yes, banking that's a man's life, isn't it? Banking, travel, excitement, adventure, thrills, decisions affecting people's lives.
B: Jolly good, well, er, shall I put you in touch with a bank?
A: Yes.
B: Fine.
A: Er... no, no, no. Look, er, it's a big decision, I'd like a couple of weeks to think about it... er... you know, don't want to jump into it too quickly. Maybe three weeks. I could let you know definitely then, I just don't want to make this definite decision. I'm er... (continues muttering nervously to himsel)
B: (turning to camera) Well this is just one of the all too many cases on our books of _________ ___________. The only way that we can fight this terrible debilitating social disease, is by informing the general public of its consequences, by showing young people that it's just not worth it. So, so please... give generously... to this address:








The League for Fighting _________ ___________,
55 Lincoln House, Basil Street,
London, SW3.

Id what's been blanked out (it's the same everywhere with slight negligible variations for grammatical accuracy) and __X__.

Yes, you can google this, but don't be a loser. I know you can figure out what the blanks are on your own. So do that.
