Question 677: Having a sense of adventure

You have two _X_s. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four _X_s back, with a tax exemption for five _X_s. The milk rights of the six _X_s are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven _X_s back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight _X_s, with an option on one more. You sell one _X_ to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine _X_s. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public then buys your bull.

What now? And give me X(which is VERY obvious)


Question 676: Faecetious

X is the recently released finding of a lead researcher who is trying something novel with the remains of the sewage sludge in Tokyo.

The results are:
"63% proteins, 25% carbohydrates, 3% lipids and 9% minerals".
There is very little in terms of documented explanation for the ground breaking news, and there is dispute over its authenticity.

Nevertheless, give me X.

Question 675: MADam please

The origin of the phrase __X__ is in this poem

\William Congreve, in The mourning bride, 1697:
As you'll answer it, take heed
This Slave commit no Violence upon
Himself. I've been deceiv'd. The Publick Safety
Requires he should be more confin'd; and none,
No not the Princes self, permitted to
Confer with him. I'll quit you to the King.
Vile and ingrate! too late thou shalt repent
The base Injustice thou hast done my Love:
Yes, thou shalt know, spite of thy past Distress,
And all those Ills which thou so long hast mourn'd;
Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd,
___X___

What's with the numbers?

Hey, there seems to be some mix-up with the question numbers and that in turn seems to have led to a bit of confusion.
It's mostly because Pai does weird stuff. But don't blame the freak. Actually, no. Go right ahead. He deserves it. Stupid confusion causing boy. Tch.
In any case, these are the recent confusion-addled questions. Click on the links, read the questions (google if you must) and then answer them.

665 (Newly added question)
666 (Because Pai insists his numbering can't be altered)
667(His opinion isn't that relevant)
668
669

That is all.

Question 669: Even if its his life, he still has a day

The supposed origins of this phrase dates back to the 16th century. In spite of contradictory conventions applied to the __X__ in the phrase __Y__, it still remains amongst the most popular cliches in the world.


A supposed origin is from the lawyer George Graham Vest's tear-jerking speech that became known as the Eulogy to __X__:


"Gentlemen of the jury, a __X__ stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow, and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near him. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens." 



The New-York Literary Journa states in Volume 4, 1821:
The faithful __X__ - why should I strive
To speak his merits, while they live
In every breast, and __Y__
Does often at his heels attend.


SO:
ID X & Y
