Question 744: How many fingers am I holding up?
Okay, __X___ syndrome is an extremely rare occurrence which is symptomatic of brain damage. What happens is, the affected person can't see. But he doesn't tell anyone about it only because he doesn't believe that he can't. He behaves normally and it is only when he collides with his surroundings or trips or something to that effect do the people around him realise that something's wrong with his vision.

Hey.
We're gonna cut it down to just one question per day (officially) and see how that works out. This system will be in place until further notice.
That is all.

Question 742: "SmacK" That around a bit
Nonsensical title, but used to describe a nonsensical world which is yet to make sense. A massive advertising campaign aimed at kids(which 1 isn't), ID the company & the person blanked out (said person is the mascot)
#brownie points for the name of the campaign, which is what you need to sit through an episode of it.

To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art..."
What art? What is this?

Question 738: Fly like a butterfly
According to Jacques Levy, with whom __X__ wrote the song __Y__ about __Z__,
__X__ wasn't sure that he could write a song [about ___Z__].... He was just filled with all these feelings about __Y__. He couldn't make the first step. I think the first step was putting the song in a total storytelling mode. I don't remember whose idea it was to do that. But really, the beginning of the song is like stage directions, like what you would read in a script: 'Pistol shots ring out in a barroom night.... Here comes the story of the ___Y___.' Boom! Titles. You know, ___X___ loves movies, and he can write these movies that take place in eight to ten minutes, yet seem as full or fuller than regular movies.
