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.

Question 575: Do you understand?

Question 574: Dress it and then address it

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o' a grace
As lang's my arm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o' need,
While thro' your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.
His knife see rustic Labour dicht,
An' cut you up wi' ready slicht,
Trenching your gushing entrails bricht,
Like ony ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sicht,
Warm-reekin, rich!
Then, horn for horn, they stretch an' strive:
Deil tak the hindmaist! on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve,
Are bent like drums;
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
"Bethankit" hums.
Is there that o're his French ragout
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi' perfect scunner,
Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' view
On sic a dinner?
Poor devil! see him ower his trash,
As feckless as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank, a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit;
Thro' bloody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!
But mark the Rustic, ______ fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread.
Clap in his wallie nieve a blade,
He'll mak it whistle;
An' legs an' arms, an' heads will sned,
Like taps o' thristle.
Ye Pow'rs wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o' fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinkin ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratefu' prayer,
Gie her a ______!

Question 572: wHO can it be?







Who?
What is the significance of this question?

Question 571: Egypt's Karma?

__X__ comprises a vast mix of ruined temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings, notably the Great Temple of Amun and a massive structure begun by Pharaoh Ramses II(ca. 1391–1351 BC). Sacred Lake is part of the site as well. It is located near Luxor, some 500 km south of Cairo, in Egypt. The area around __X__ was the ancient Egyptian Ipet-isut ("The Most Selected of Places") and the main place of worship of the eighteenth dynasty Theban Triad with the god Amun as its head. It is part of the monumental city of Thebes. The __X__ complex takes its name from the nearby, and partly surrounded, modern village of el-__X___, some 2.5 km north of Luxor.


The history of the __X___ complex is largely the history of Thebes and its changing role in the culture.The earliest known artifact found in the area of the temple is a small, eight-sided temple from the Eleventh Dynasty, which mentions Amun-Re. Amun (sometimes called Amen) was long the local tutelary deity of Thebes. He was identified with the Ram and the Goose. The Egyptian meaning of Amen is, "hidden" or, the "hidden god".

It hasn't been as significant a tourist site as The pyramids of Giza, etc, but it rose to prominence it 2001 and once again in 2009.
So:
1) ID X
2) ID why it rose to prominence in those years.

Question 570: The Girls and I Head This Way

ID each of the characters in the pictures for a point each. No points for the 3rd one.
7 points for the binding connect. The connect is NOT that they're all on movies or TV or something that general.





Question 569: Yes We Mccann

A very late question (a month old i guess), but i just found out about it and im posting it on both blogs
The Quizzard & Another Blog in The Wall.


This is an excerpt of an episode from CSI, im not going to tell you when it was aired. 
It features the return of a very popular character, the synopsis is as such.


The character ___X___, played by ___Y___, is a troubled teen worried about his brother.


It begins with __Y__ warning Stokes not to enter his house as it may be booby trapped (the irony of this phrase chosen will come to light when you crack the question). Stokes enters either ways, finds out that its a bomb, gets extracted by CSI squad, & is grateful to __Y__.


Although Stokes tries to interrogate __Y__ about the attempted house bombing, the teen remains tight-lipped about who the perpetrator is, and he's eventually picked up by his legal guardian. Soon after, the CSIs pay a visit to  __Y__'s guardian, only to find him dead inside his work warehouse. Unfortunately, beneath his dead body is a device that traps Stokes and his team inside the building as a bomb surrounded by lasers ticks away.


Greg and Sara find a surveillance video of  __Y__ buying bomb-making supplies with an accomplice: Timothy Johnson, an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Specialist who was dishonorably discharged from the Army several years ago. Nick realizes that  __Y__ has been playing him, and Sara points out that he, Catherine and Vartann were the ones who killed  __Y__s brother—and they were the ones trapped in the booby-trapped building. Nick and Greg work to track  __Y__ by calling his cellphone, and they are able to locate his general area. The cops set up a roadblock and stop the van containing  __Y__ and Johnson as they try to escape to California. Johnson would rather give up than die, but Jason has other ideas. 


He yells that Johnson has a bomb on his body, and during the momentary confusion, __Y__ pulls out a gun and shoots one of the cops . Nick and the others return fire, killing __Y__ in a hail of bullets, as his corpse floats like a feather before gracing the sweet ground.


SImply ID X & Y.
The reason why this became famous will immediately come to light then


Y(can't tineye this, you should get it though)
