Our ISP's are unfortunately acting up, but do bear with us.
There's even an article on blogger regarding it

Our plight

Question 520: I have the force, or as its known in India, "Mere Paas MA He"

Back after unpopular demand, and the fact that we're going crazy trying to find my books, Nihar & I will be posting questions sporadically till March.
We'll be alternating a question a day, on every alternate day

Been sitting on this question for quite some time now, decided to post it whilst its still fresh on the net, if not the mind
lol

The video shows a boy __X__, dressed as Darth Vader trying to move objects using the force. The boy __X__, was cast in spite of having a congenital heart defect, but he essayed his roll brilliantly nonetheless.
The video went viral and was dubbed the biggest hit of the event __Z__, which most people watch for the ads.
The  ad is for a company __Y__, and was aired very recently at the major event __Z__?

X with his family and Doc

X

Question:
1) ID the young Vader
2) & just ID Z, coz Y seems rather obscure from this video )doesn't even make an appearance)
Also, brownie points for giving me any info on the title of the post

Question 519: Oh my gawsh! Can this be True? Seems pretty Super!

This is the author’s note for a certain unfinished work , __X__:

“The tale of ____Y____and____Z____ is recited in the Mahabharata as a story of conjugal love conquering death. But this legend is, as shown by many features of the human tale, one of the many symbolic myths of the Vedic cycle. ___Y___  is the soul carrying the divine truth of being within itself but descended into the grip of death and ignorance; ___Z___is the Divine Word, daughter of the Sun, goddess of the supreme Truth who comes down and is born to save; ________, the Lord of the Horse, her human father, is the Lord of Tapasya, the concentrated energy of spiritual endeavour that helps us to rise from the mortal to the immortal planes; ________, Lord of the Shining Hosts, father of ___Y___, is the Divine Mind here fallen blind, losing its celestial kingdom of vision, and through that loss its kingdom of glory. Still this is not a mere allegory, the characters are not personified qualities, but incarnations or emanations of living and conscious Forces with whom we can enter into concrete touch and they take human bodies in order to help man and show him the way from his mortal state to a divine consciousness and immortal life."

__X__  is quite easily the greatest poetic work by the author, and is appreciated both for its poetic quality as well as its spiritual and philosophical content. Composed in a rhythmic hexameter, it consists of 24000 lines and deals with the history of man and the Gods – of the creation of the universe, its purpose and its destiny. The author stresses on the spiritual evolutionary philosophy of ___A___, which is built on the concept of self realisation and has been compared to Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's concept of ___B___.

B

Question:

1. Identify X and the author.

2. Identify Y and Z. ( They’re generally considered together and the break down was solely for the sake of simplification)

3. Give me A and B. 

5 points for any 2, 10 for all three.

Post Man deserves a Pat?

Just an announcement, or more of a poll actually.

How do you find the new authors?

Question 518: Black Magic.....man

I don't have time to put any pictures this time so bear with me on this: What is the connection between the number 666
fat bald men
Emma Watson
book Liza of Lambeth?

Question 517: Look beyond Momos, there are other strings (Nagaratna's Question)

Due to unforseen reasons, Nagaratna can't post today
so she just sent me the question, along with the name, etc.

Given below is a panel from a webcomic

Now for the question:

1)      In memoriam of whom?

2)      He was the pioneer, procrastinator, inventor of? Just give me what he’s famous for. That will suffice.

3)      Identify the web comic

Question 516: Its all Greek to me (Sebin's Question)

The third author of The Quizzard couldn't post his question tonight (saving up his bandwidth for something else, as quizzers, use your imagination

or actually don't

lol)

So he just gave me all the elements, & asked me to post it

We'll be resuming our normal activity by tomorrow

Pai

Don't forget these questions

Onto His question:

Connect the following pictures to a person

Question 515: FREED At last

__X__  was born  in 1907 Coyoacán, Mexico, the third of four children. At the age of 6, __X__ contracted polio and potentially suffered from several other conditions.  Later in __X’s__ life (s)he claimed to be born in 1910 in order to be better associated with ____________.  O n the 17^th of September, 1925, __X__ was part of a horrific accident between the bus (s)he was in and a trolley. The accident resulted in damage to  __X’s___ spinal column,collarbone , ribs, pelvis , caused eleven fractures in the right leg, and led to a dislocated shoulder, not to mention a whole lot else.

Despite __X’s__ recovery, (s)he suffered from several painful relapses through the course of his/her life and had to undergo as many as 35 operations due to the accident. As a result of the accident, __X__ turned his/her attention to painting, seemingly as a form of escape. __X’s __ paintings did not receive wide public recognition until much after his/her death.
__X’s__ paintings were predominantly self portraits which mainly expressed the physical and psychological anguish experienced by __X__. The paintings have often been described as surrealist.
__X__  died on 13^th July, 1954 at the age of 47. A few days before,  X had written in his/her diary, “I hope the exit is joyful — and I hope never to return — __X__”.

                                                             Y 

Now what I want you to do is, identify X.
Also, identify Y. I hope that picture suits your fancy. If it doesn’t, fret not. I’m sure you have worse things to worry about anyway. Heh.
Lastly, give me the connection between X and Y.
