Question 582: Franky my dear, i don't give a damn

__X___ was a German physicist who resided in Russia. In 1741 he was elected a member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Science for his pioneering work on __Y__ and also on calorimetry. __X__also worked as a tutor of the children of Count Andrei Osterman. In 1741 he translated Alexander Pope's Essay on Man into German from French.

He died in St. Petersburg "while trying to quantify the response of an insulated rod to a nearby weather phenomenon." He was attending a meeting of the Academy of Sciences, when he heard an ancient source of __Y__. The Professor ran home with his engraver to capture the event for posterity. While the experiment was underway, a supposed ____ appeared and collided with _______s head leaving him dead in a red spot. His shoes were blown open, parts of his clothes singed, the engraver knocked out; the doorframe of the room was split, and the door itself torn off its hinges.

He was apparently the first person in history to die while conducting __Y__ experiments.

However, the experiment he was conducting was already done so a few years earlier, halfway around the world, raising doubts about the veracity of those experiments conducted by the person halfway around the world.

Death of X

Death of X in colour,lol

So:
1) ID X
2) ID Y and the experiment X or the person before him conducted.
The key to this lies in the picture.

Question 581: Got a small package for you buddy boy

The __X__ is one of the most historically and architecturally significant hotels on __Y__. Opened in 1954 and designed by Morris Lapidus, it was considered the most luxurious hotel on __Y__, and is thought to be the most significant building of Lapidus's career. In 2007, the __X__ was ranked ninety-third in the American Institute of Architects list of "America's Favorite Architecture".

It boasts of 1504 rooms, an oceanside view, 11 restaurants, bars (very important in this case), and a lot of pools( even more important).

But what really put it on the map was this picture.

So

View of X

Question 578: Dangling Angles

The ______X______  test was used by the British Board of Film Classification in the United Kingdom, unofficially, as a guideline to decide whether to permit an erect human phallus in the general release of a film or video. The test was held as a comparison to measure the erect phallus to the point that the angle it made from the vertical (the "angle of the dangle", as it was often known) was larger than that of the promontory at the southermost end of a popular physical formation in Scotland.

According to writer Emily Dubberley, the rule hampered the 1990s trend toward feminist pornography; since "you couldn't show a man in a state of arousal", the allowed depiction was "hardly a turn-on", and she criticized it as a double standard that was permitted due to the perception that women did not respond to visual erotic stimuli.

Deviance from South-Centre

Name the __X__ Test.

Question 577: The Inspector

An American born Scot. What must that be like? Phew.
He tried many things, but then fate decided that packing meat was his destiny. And he prospered.
His biggest moment came in the war of 1812, the one about all the American-British empire thing..

The chap in question managed to get the commission to supply meat to the army!
Good for him.
On each little box of Meat, there was, as you'd expect, 'U.S' printed on it, as they were govt property.
He insisted U.S was United States. But the soldiers said it stood for something else(Their own little joke, of course)
I want to know what it was that the Soldiers said. The term's damned famous now, so you'd have heard of it.

And ID the man.

Question 576: Proof kahan hai?

X

Y

Z

X was an idea put forth by a very generally awesome man (although I don't personally appreciate the usage of the idea, I still think he's pretty cool).
Y and Z sort of picked up on it later on.

The theory of Z actually has a name coined for it.



So give me:
1. X, Y and Z

2. The name of the generally awesome man

3. What Z is a parody of

4. The name coined for Z

2 points per part plus a bonus of 2 for getting all four.
So 10 points in total.
Also, my Hindi (and possibly everyone else's) is better than Pai's.
Just saying.
