In 2011____X____ launched a "Last dictators" advert.The 60-second commercial shows a sad Robert Mugabe dining alone at Christmas in a large mansion while he reminisces about "happier times" with former dictators, such as playing water tag with Muammar Gaddafi, making snow angels in the sand with Saddam Hussein, singing Karaoke with Mao Zedong, pushing P.

Question 781:

At the height of the dot-com boom,CNBC invented a gimmick called the briefcase indicator,in which cameras would follow____X____ on the mornings of the Federal Open Market Committee meetings as ____X____ arrived at the FED.If the briefcase was thin one theory was that his mind was untroubled and the economy was well, but if it was stuffed, a rate rate hike loomed.

ID _____X_____.

Question 780: XOXO

The __X___ name first appeared in November 2005 on the message board "Darkside_RG". In November 2007, he removed all of his work from a popular site, citing harassment and inadequate protection as the reason (according to Delhi cops, this might have been because of the way he dressed, lol)
But he made his triumphant return with "I AM Legend" (hence this was chosen as my comeback question).
MIrrors was his 1000th work and On April 19, 2009 __X__made his last known comment on Message Board "Darkside_RG", in response to rumors that he had stopped posting on Darkside_RG. He states: "I can only say a big thank you for your appreciation mates, hope you all enjoy the darkside as much as you can My home is my beloved Darkside and as I've said so many times before on each of my ____... Be aware of bogus sites and lamers See ya."


X's return

Our return, minus the suit, tie, scotch, attitude and Nihar  Siddarth

Guess Who's BAck?

Look what the good doctor just ordered, Dr. Frankenstein that is.
So for all those of you who didn't miss The QUizzard, We shall make sure that you do crave for the long passive lulls we've had these past few months

SO ladies, ok who am i kidding
So gentlemen, LEt us QUiz In Our PAnts

Q 779: Blue is the Colour

Pierre Culliford was better known as _____, his Pseudonym. _____ was assumed as his pseudonym based on his English cousin's mispronunciation of "Pierre".

He had a Belgian mother and an English father, and soon got into cartooning, if you can call it that way.
He went on to create a series called Johan and Peewit, which is based in the middle ages, where Johan protects the meek on his trusty horse while Peewit gallops behind on his goat.

But the aforementioned work of genius wasn't what ____ was known for.



__X__ went on to create ___Y___, which shot to fame in damned quick time. A new series altogether was started for __Y__, and, even today, is popular in England, Germany, France, etc,etc.
__Y__ was once in a restaurant, and he momentarily forgot the word for "Salt", __Y__ asked the waiter to pass him the "Schroumpf" in French.
A joke ensued and they talked in "Schroumpf" language for the next two weeks.
The rest is history.

Id X and Y.

Q 778: The Pride of England

This is something that happened in the year 1985, rather, one of two HUGE events in the music world dedicated to a cause(mostly in Africa at that time). It featured all the biggies.

Call this __Z__.

Now, there came this band __X___ who played for some 20 odd minutes.
Some regard this little cameo to be their crowning glory, or at least that of their front man. They started off with one of their huge hits, __Y__ but there were rules pre-set. The event did not allow

  • Sound-checks.
  • Playback of previously recorded pieces.
Owing to these difficulties, __Y__ couldn't be played to completion. 
So, they mixed things up and played another hugely popular song, and incidentally, the name of which inspired a crazy "female" to kick start her musical career. 

In spite of the risks of messing up existing, the band went on to steal the show.

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.

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.

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.

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.
