Question 498: No Calculus for this one

__X__ Chief Scout of the Cockchafers is the first comic strip series written by __Y___ who later wrote ____Z___. ___X___ published it monthly from July 1926 to summer 1929 and tells of a Boy Scout called __X___ on his adventures. The character would play a large part of inspiration for ___Z__, and the idea of a Scout was chosen because, firstly it was for a Scouting magazine, and secondly because ____Y___ had a great love of the movement. The series was drawn with pictures and captions separate, as most comics of that time were.

In 1930 ___Y___allowed a comics artist whose pseudonym was Evany (Eugène van Nijverseel) to write ___X___ on his own, as ___Y___was now very busy with his work on ___Z___ This second life of the series ran from February to July, 1930 and produced a total of five pages.

Question 496: The Pole Position

Keeping in tradition with the soon to disappear style of questioning which has its advent and staunch advocate in Nihar, even i decided to discombobulate so that none can confabulate

Smirk.

The literal translation of this place __X___ is against the bear, which either refers to its policy against hairy homosexual men or the other kind of bear that everyone seems to have forgotten (not pedobear mind you)

Apocryphally, its said to be the antonym of another place __Y__, hence its name __X__.

I would say polar opposite, if i may be so bold.

But rumour has it that its name is based on the name of __Y__, its relative, hence the name __X__ came about, as it is supposed to be the ____ of __Y___.

__X__, referring to its literal translation (about the bears), is home to certain creatures __Z__, which hold strong views about those pesky bears, hence possibly the name __X__

This is most of the gibberish i could come up with about __X__.

So id X,Y and Z

If you can't and would ike to go back to googleable/tineyeable questions.

Please vote on the pole.

Question 494: Gene Kelly Would Not have been Proud of this.

The vaguest of reasons.
We can't say for sure why many of us do this.
This is something most of us don't really do at will, when we're in the company of our friends or maybe even at college/work. In other words, we aren't really inclined to doing it in public.
The cause for this habit differs from person to person, depending on his peculiarities, confidence, skill, etc.
When we're far away from the rest of the world in this particular place, mentally, at least, we tend to let our inhibitions go.
The good resonance and acoustics of this small, closed area of space, in which we spend at least 25 minutes of our day, boost our own capabilities. Well, only we think so. Not in reality! The sound of the elixir of life can dilute the extent of how bad we actually are. Hence, the short burst of being highly eloquent. After that little period, BOOM, back to your shell.

Slightly vague.
Lot of clues.
Causes(probable) for what?

Question 493: Another Hole in the Wall

Sorry for not posting, but i busy playing a game on the comp, and time just slipped by.


Anyway, here's a game ive found absolutely infuriating, but somehow fun. Wasn't what i was engrossed in, that is a question for later on in the day


The game consists primarily of a series of puzzles that must be solved by teleporting the player's character and simple objects using the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device (ASHPD, also dubbed the "___X___"), a unit that can create inter-spatial __X__ between flat planes. The player character, Chell, is challenged by an AI named GLaDOS to complete each puzzle in the Aperture Science Computer-Aided Enrichment Center using the __X___ with the promise of receiving cake when all the puzzles are completed.
(Must have been bloody good cake, but spoiler alert, you can't have your cake and eat it too
lol)
 The unusual physics allowed by the __X___ are the emphasis of this game by Valve, and is illustrated in this stupid meme i found online


Enjoy
