Operation Valkyrie or the July 20 th plot

In the early 70's when television advertising was unsophisticated and very
much in its teenage years, the Parker Pen Company came out with one of
the most discussed ads of its time. This simple ad showed a hand using a
Parker Pen to write the 'mathematical' formula below on a piece of paper.

The ad generated a lot of talk among the scientific community as to what

the formula would have meant. The result? Parker's letterbox was filled with
queries from chemists, mathematicians and physicists all asking for the
meaning of the formula, as they could not figure it out.

One mail, though, just had the following words: Whos heard of M without

This is an excerpt from the abstract of a 1991 paper by Martin Bucher, KaiMing Lee, John Preskill, High Energy Physics, Caltech. Paper titled On
Detecting the Discrete X Charge
We analyze the charges carried by loops of string in models with nonabelian local discrete symmetry. The charge on a loop has no localized
source, but can be detected by means of the Aharonov--Bohm interaction of
the loop with another string. We describe the process of charge detection,
and the transfer of charge between point particles and string loops, in terms
of gauge--invariant correlation functions.
These charges with magnitude but no persistently identifiable polarity is
referred to in the literature as the X charge, after _________________,
whose body would fade in and out, and whose only persistent property was
its smile.

This is normally how you do it:

You need a table so carefully draped with a tablecloth that those

watching cannot see the servante--a shelf lower than the level of the
table.

Y is wrapped in a large silk handkerchief and the ends tied with a

good rubber-band and kept on the servante while X is lifted,
displayed and set right side up on the higher level of the table.
The accessory Z is a distractor and so we won't pay it any attention.
Much skill is required in inverting X so quickly as to obscure the
simultaneous movement of Y into X.
The only thing left to do now is to remove the rubber band.

ZZ top is an American blues rock band from Houston, Texas. The band
consists of guitarist and lead vocalist Billy Gibbons, bassist and co-lead
vocalist Dusty Hill, and drummer Frank Beard. One of the few major
label recording groups to have consisted of the same line-up for more than
forty years, ZZ Top has been praised by critics and fellow musicians alike for
their technical mastery. Since the release of the band's debut album in
January 1971, ZZ Top has become known for its strong blues roots and
humorous lyrical motifs, relying heavily on double-entendres and innuendo.

In 1984 a company offered them more than a million dollars to be part of an

advertisement. But they refused flatly. Their song Sharply dressed men
speaks of it. Many years later the band members said that they wouldn't
change their minds even if they were offered more cash.

One theory of origin is that Y relates to the destruction of X by Olaf II of

Norway in 1014 (alternatively cited as 1009).

Reportedly Olaf I of Norway also burned the X during raids in England

during the 980s, the X was also destroyed by a tornado in 1091 and
burned in 1136. Y is said to derive from a Old Norse original by ttarr
svarti, quoted in Heimskringla . The Online Medieval & Classical Library
gives this translation for the Section 12: The Sixth Battle of Saga of Olaf
Haraldson: Part I in Heimskringla:

X is broken down.

Malbolge is a public domain esoteric programming language invented by

Ben Olmstead in 1998. It was specifically designed to be impossible to write
useful programs in. Weaknesses in the design have been found that make it
possible (though still very difficult) to write Malbolge programs in an
organized fashion. Malbolge was so difficult to understand when it arrived
that it took two years for the first Malbolge program to appear. That
program was not written by a human being: it was generated by a beam
search algorithm designed by Andrew Cooke and implemented in Lisp.

The language made a cameo appearance on Elementary. The episode titled

the leviathan used malbolge as a particular plot device. People who've used
the language have described the experience as 'hellish'.
