PAIn in the...in more ways than one

If Nihar's the boss, and Sebin and Pranav play truant, then the other woman in the office has to be...

Smirk.

I'm sure you'll don't want an image of that.

Also, clarification, at work, I'm most likely to







Pai, on the other hand...also sleeps.

But in a way that's entirely different.

Once again, I'm sure you'll don't want an image of that.

Heh.



PS: if you do want an image of that, what in heavens name is wrong with you?

Theme-tation

A new theme round is going to start on The Quizzard, which is going to be a simultaneous theme held by the person below:

Nagaratna at Work( not to scale, smirk)


But as usual, don't forget about the other open questions, though the temptation may seem strong

561 ONWARDS IS STILL OPEN

Not the best of pictures, given what ive written, but couldn't resist

Question 561: This is cool-three-syllable-surname, asshole

The comic book character ___X___, primarily created by Moore, was intended to look a whole lot like the singer/actor ___Y___ in the movies Quadrophenia and Brimstone & Treacle. He was such a strikingly amoral and unattached introduction into the continuum that he got a life of his own through a new title series, the longest continuously-running one by the publishing imprint.

I can haz comic-book character??


__X__ is notorious for losing all of his close friends; even acquaintances meet gruesome endings through mere association with him. He is loosely based on Faust (who made the infamous "deal" with the devil), and ___Z___, whose name high"lights" all Halloween celebrations even today.

A personal favorite of many comic enthusiasts, he is part of the most realistic setting in the comic multiverse. Moore even claims to have "met" him in reality, twice. But in the continuum, he is said to be one of the few who portended the Crisis on Infinite Earths. He's worked with many of the occult in the multiverse, including Phantom Stranger and Zatanna; having brushed coats with Batman, Green Arrow, Green Lantern and a whole lot of others.

Oh yea, he's had a movie (thoroughly skewed storyline, they even got the wrong country but still enjoyably made) named after him.

"I'm not crazy, I really met him - he said any c**t could do it"

Give me X for 5 points (Y and Z will fall in immediately, for 2 each). 10 for all 3.

Question 560: Its always about a...

The following video is from the show Family Guy, where the dog Brian is enumerating about a certain trend which has been around since Fur Elise and before.





Question 559: Father?




This famous Islamic leader was famous for among other things his fondness for bacon and good claret. He religously avoided the Mosque every Friday and did not even a single verse of the Koran by heart. All of this however did not stop him from single handedly founding an Islamic republic.
1)Who is he.
2) Which Nation did he form



Double Whammy

Hello all, starting Saturday Sunday the new theme rounds will commence.
Yes, theme roundS.
This time we'll have two themes rounds taking place side by side.
This is how it's going to work:
1. Instead of 8 questions with one red herring, each theme will have 6 questions with one red herring.

2. The original rules of the RHP apply except for the points for the theme which will start from 60 and not 80, i.e.
+ 60/-30: 1st try/question
+50/-25: 2nd try/question
+40/-20: 3rd try/question
+30/-15: 4th try/question
+20/-10: 5th try/question
+ 10/no neg: Last try/question
3. Apart from the individual theme that each set of questions has, the 2 sets will also have something that connects them. Identify that for another +20. You can guess at any point in the round. No negatives for wrong guesses.

4. So basically you get 2 questions a day. One pertaining to one theme and the other to the 2nd one. So you will have Question "1 a" and "2 a" posted on one day and Question "1 b" and "2 b" posted on the next.
5. The things you need to answer:
-Individual questions
-Individual themes
-Individual red herrings
-Connect between the 2 sets of questions.
If you have any clarifications, please post a comment.
Cheers!

Question 558: Mere paas cineMA he

Oscars Time (i think, damn exams, don't know whats what anymore)

Since nobody has any objections to me speaking Hindi (nobody but me that is), another Hindi title. Due to my boards, paucity of time and general laziness, another simple question.
Just ID the movies.



Question 557: Everyone can't be Tailor made to perfection

A

D

Four men.
Bound by something that requires separation.
Part of a list that's exhaustive, save for the fact that all on the list haven't been mentioned.

Id the men.

Simple.
5 for identifying. 5 for the connect.
