Question 512 e: The Golden Star!

Right. Try not using tineye for this one.
I mean, you'll resort to it, anyway.

Observe this picture.
Looks old. Centuries. The major clue lies in the picture. Will you please enlighten me as to which structure this.. um.. thing is a part of?

I am a cop and you will respect my Author-rity

At long last, Author-rity, the "about us" page of The Quizzard has been completed.

Author-rity

And also part of it has been rejected by Uncyclopedia, the picture of Nihar being cited as the supposed cause.

Ok, ok! I confess.
I tried to pass my picture off as Nihar's. They rejected it, and had no hesitation in proclaiming the pic of me, SIddarth Pai, a virus!

You can guess who wrote that little bit
Under my name.
As for it,
HA

Question 512 d: The Populace!

On 28 April 1819, a British officer for Madras Presidency, John Smith, while hunting tiger, accidentally discovered the entrance to ________________ deep within the tangled undergrowth. Exploring, long since a home to nothing more than birds and bats and a lair for other, larger, animals, Captain Smith wrote his name in pencil on one of the walls. Still faintly visible, it records his name and the date, April 1819.

Shortly after this discovery, the ____________ became renowned for their exotic setting, impressive architecture, historic artwork, and long-forgotten history.

Question 512.b: Strictly non sexual

Yes, hard to believe when one hears the name __X__, but let me assure you that its strictly platonic, or atleast most of it is.

lol

__X__ comes from the anglicized name of the river upon whose banks it was built upon, the river being the Tungabhadra in Southern India. Although __X__ exists in the ruins of the Vijayanagara Empire, it actually predates it, being associated with the Vanara(monkey) kingdom mentioned in the Ramayan.

The site is significant historically and architecturally. The topography abounds with large stones which have been utilized to make larger than life statues of Hindu deities. A structure of historic importance appears every quarter of a mile. The Archaeological Survey of India continues to conduct excavations in the area, to discover additional artifacts and temple.

The principal industries of the village are agriculture, the support of the Virupaksha temple and some other local holy places in the vicinity, and tourism. The annual Vijayanagar Festival is organized by the Government of Karnataka in November.

Entire View of X

I'll keep this straightforward

Just ID X

Question 512.a: 1st of the month, so White Rabbits to all

__X__'s vision about __Y__ (refer to the pics) was as such:


Should guilty seek asylum here,
Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin.
Should a sinner make his way to this mansion,
All his past sins are to be washed away.
The sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs;
And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes.
In this world this edifice has been made;
To display thereby the creator's glory.


A more poetic story relates that once a year, during the rainy season, a single drop of water falls on the inner part of the structure, as inspired by Rabindranath Tagore's description of the structure as 
"one tear-drop...upon the cheek of time".

Now for the Tin eyers Delight.

Connect these pictures to a single entity (__Y__).

Question 511: A dead Ringer

The following picture is a morphed one, consisting of two personalities originally. It was produced and promulgated on the day of the release of the game Halo 3, morphing the personality __X__, whose head and armaments were used with that of __Y___, whose body was used.
__Y__ can be found at the proverbial bete noire of MIT.
The reason for this atrocious amalgamation given by MIT was that they both share the same name ___Z___.

2) ID what the shared name is between X & Y
