QUESTION 378: Come on! Don't be a brute!

In 1962, X, a cabana motel owner, used US$35 million that had been lent to him by the Teamsters Central States Pension Fund to begin plans for a hotel on land owned by Kerk Kerkorian. X would later act as designer of the building he planned to construct.

X struggled to decide on a name for the building. He finally decided to call it Ys __ because he thought that the name X would evoke thoughts of royalty . Also he felt the name would attract a more seductive crowd of women to attract more men into the gambling portion of the casino. X felt that guests should feel they were at a king's home while at his hotel. It is called "Ys" and not "Y's" because every guest is a Y.

QUestion 377: Pesos, pounds or paisa?

__X___ is known to be a prakrit of Pati or "Lord”. It may have come from Appaya meaning elder brother according to Poet B.B. Borkar.

They lived by the Saraswati River but were forced to moved when there was a drought. These families branched out to Punjab, Gujarat, Goa, Maharashtra and various other locales where they continued to live.

Their ancestors were the Aryans, who crossed over into Northern India from countries extending as far as Eastern Europe and Central Asia and have completed knowledge of the Vedas.

They were usually ledger keepers, an important factor considering their contributions and callings today.
