Q 777: The Pendulum Swings To & Fro

X

This particular term that I'm looking for comes from "___". The term's origin/root essentially means "Regarding the Head" in Latin.
__X__ has been practiced by most civilizations at some point of time or the other, with the exception of the Kyivian Rus(European tribe that was disintegrated by the Mongol Invasion in the 13th Century).

The current scenario, however, is different.
58 Nations are advocates of __X__ and 96 have decided to do away with the concept altogether.
There is of course this raging debate on __X__ on many fronts.

The European Union has collectively distanced itself away from it, as Article 2 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU prohibits it.

In the UNGA, The People's Republic of China, India, the USA and Indonesia have all voted against the removal of __X___, and they being the 4t most populated countries in the world.

Q 776: Internet's Working.

The title of the question has nothing to do with the content of the question, first of all. It's just to say that my net connection is working.

Now that that question is clarified,

I'll get to the actual question.



_____X_____ is a show within a show that appears occasionally in episodes of ____Y____. They typically appear in the form of 15-60 second cartoons that are filled with over-the-top violence, usually initiated by ____ & _______; ...... is almost always the victor. A complex backstory for the show has been established. The episode 'The Day that Violence died(again, a parody on something else!)'  reveals it.


X Studios is run by Roger Meyers, Jr., the son of Roger Meyers, the cartoon's "creator". X Studios was bankrupted after it was sued by Lampwick for $800 billion, but was saved after receiving a large cash settlement from the government over its use of ________ The most direct and obvious influence(parody) is Z, an animated series which was also about a constant battle between a cat and a mouse, with the mouse usually victorious.

Id X, Y and Z.
Should be easy.

Start AGain

Okay, starting again after a Month's vacation.
Sorry for being so uncouth about it all.

Anyway, a month should've wiped off the million negative sentiments about the blog, so begin again.

I'm stuck in Germany for a while, so can't give assurances on daily stuff.

Anyway,
It's late.
Sleep beckons.
Thanks.

The book below contaisn the supposed origins of whom?

ID the cat

Question 773: Oh Lord Cumbrae Ya

The name Cumbrae may derive from Cymri or Kymry meaning 'fellow countrymen' or from Kil Maura meaning 'cell or church of a female saint'. If the former, Cumbrae (and its Gaelic equivalent Cumaradh), the common element of both Great Cumbrae and Little Cumbrae shares the same root as Cymry ("Britons"). It would be a reference to the old Brythonic inhabitants of Strathclyde.

Little Cumbrae was recorded as Kumbrey circa 1300, Cumbraye circa 1330 and Litill Comeray in 1515.

However, the island was bought over by __X__ who named it __Y__, reminiscent of The Beatles love for all things calm. The individual is now being investigated by the ED of India.

ID X & Y

1878 plan of a certain something that's extensively in use today.

Question 771: The Kid

Born in Turin, and nicknamed "__", X was a doctor of engineering and nephew of Pinin _____ of the coach building company. He began his motor racing career in hillclimbs, graduating to circuit racing with Maserati. But it was not until he moved to Alfa Romeo, as number two driver to Tazio Nuvolari, that his racing career really blossomed. During the late 1930s he won numerous minor races in the Voiturette class, securing himself the Italian Drivers' Champion three years in a row (1937–1939). He then went on to take his first major race win, at the 1940 Tripoli GP. Sadly for _X_, he was just reaching his peak as a driver at the outbreak of World War II, and it would be another eight years before he would win a major race.

Entering post-war Grands Prix in a privately owned Maserati, __X__ took a win at the 1948 Monaco GP. When the FIA announced the inaugural World Championship for 1950, __X___ secured a drive alongside Juan Fangio and countryman Kuigi Fagioli at the dominant Alfa Romeo team, driving the invincible 158 Alfetta cars. __X____ took 3 wins from the 7 races of the 1950 season, securing himself the first ever World Championship. It was the pinnacle of his career.

Id X :)

Question 770: Gun-go Goodies

The name "__X__" is a literary reference to the poem __X__ by Rudyard Kipling. The poem is a rhyming narrative from the point of view of a British soldier, about a native water-bearer (a "bhisti") who saves the soldier's life but dies himself.

This poem is perhaps best known for its often-quoted last stanza:

"Tho' I've belted you and flayed you, By the livin' Gawd that made you, You're a better man than I am, __X__!"

Like several Kipling poems, it celebrates the virtues of a non-European while revealing the racism of a colonial infantryman who views people such as the native water-bearer as being of a "lower order". The poem was published as one of the set of martial poems called the Barrack-Room Ballads.
