One supposedly catches ______ through any
form of bodily contact, close proximity,
contact with an "infected" person's
possessions, or third-party transmission. In
prepubescent children it serves as a
device for enforcing separation of the
sexes. An alternative account of the
adoption of the term into English traces it
back to the American occupation of the
Philippines, in 1898-1945. In most (Malay-
derived) Philippine languages the term for
head lice is "kuto"; American troops in the
Philippines had ample opportunity to
become familiar with the species, and
quickly adopted local terminology.

1)The Edwin Smith Papyrus is an
Ancient textbook on trauma surgery,
written around the 17th century BC.
It is the world's earliest known
example of medical literature. It
describes anatomical observations
and the examination, diagnosis,
treatment, and prognosis of numerous
injuries in exquisite detail.. As well as
having magical incantations against
pestilence it also contains a
prescription for a wrinkle remover
using urea, which is still used in face
creams today. It shows that the
blood vessels were known to be
connected to the heart. Other
vessels are described, some carrying
air, some mucus, while two to the
right ear are said to carry the breath
of life, and two to the left ear the
breath of death. Who is credited
with the authorship?
2)In spite of the pioneering work of Willis O'Brien and
others in making stop-motion animated dinosaurs since the
early days of cinema, producers have used slurpasaurs to
represent dinosaurs to cut costs. The 'slurpasaur' appeared
in the 1929 film version of The Mysterious Island. The
first major use of the 'slurpasaur' was in One Million B.C.
(1940) and, indeed, the special effects in this film were re-
used often (in, for example, the 1955 movie King Dinosaur).

Other notable films with 'slurpasaurs' include Journey to

the Center of the Earth and The Lost World (1960). The
public eventually became too sophisticated to accept
'slurpasaurs' as convincing dinosaurs a factor which led to
their disappearance from the special effects arsenal.
3)P.N.M. Johnstone (c. 1952 -April 2004) was a British
poet and schoolmate of X. His student writings were
described as pretentious by some of his peers.

Johnstone attended Brentwood School, Essex, with X, and

the two received awards for English in the same year.
Johnstone later won a scholarship to study at Cambridge
University (as did X).

Johnstone went on to achieve moderate success in the

poetry world as an editor and festival organizer; he died
of pancreatic failure, almost three years after X' death.

How to we better know him?

Although they began their career as "a group of art school,
experimental, post punk rockers", the band's quick rise to stardom,
polished good looks, and embrace of the teen press almost guaranteed
disfavour from music critics, the British music press being particularly
venomous.
During the 1980s, _____ _____ were considered the quintessential
manufactured, throw-away pop group, not too different from boy bands
entirely created by their behind-the-scenes managers. However,
according to the Sunday Herald, "To describe them, as some have, as
the first boy band misrepresents their appeal. Their weapons were never
just their looks, but self-penned songs.“
Moby said of the band in his website diary in 2003: "... they were
cursed by what we can call the 'bee gees' curse. which is: 'write amazing
songs, sell tons of records, and consequently incur the wrath or
disinterest of the rock obsessed critical establishment'."
Duran Duran
These are two of the most well known bands associated with a

According to myth, Thoth, the ibis-headed Egyptian god,
gambled with Khonsu, the god of the moon, for 1/72nd of it’s
light, because the additional time would allow Nut, the
goddess of night, to bear children. Thoth won, and during the
extra nights, Nut gave birth to Horus, Isis, Set, Osiris and
Nepthys.

This myth is believed to be the basis for something that was

first introduced in 45 BC.
Explain.
The 365 day calendar.

The Egyptian calendar was 360 days, and 1/72 * 360 = 5. So 5

extra days was the bet that Thoth won.
Julian calendar was the first calendar to have exactly 365 days.

“In light of current events, we are changing the name of the band
to something more friendly, "Basket Full Of Puppies". Actually,
just the fact that we are making jokes about our name sucks.
In the twenty years we've been known as “_______”, we never
thought the day would come that our name would actually mean
what it really means. When I learned about _______ in my
senior year, I thought the name sounded "metal".
Before the tragedy of September 11th the only thing scary about
_______ was our bad hair in the 80's. Now in the wake of those
events, our name symbolizes fear, paranoia and death. Suddenly
our name is not so cool. To be associated with these things we
are against is a strange and stressful situation. We hope and pray
that this problem goes away quietly and we all grow old and fat
together.”

Electronics engineers say that “_____” was used before World War
II by repairmen sent out to repair phone booths. They had to report
the situation at arrival to the scene, often on a very bad line, so they
developed these acronyms to make themselves understood. The
actual origin of the word was developed in the 1960s, as fire
departments across the US began to use the line.
In physics and mathematics, the “_____” is an imaginary unit of
measure. The primary use of the “____” is to illustrate and
demonstrate the complications and errors that often arise when
metric and Imperial units are mixed.
A very similar term is used in computing.

Grand Inquisitor Enrique: born a Jew, he was taken in by a
Christian priest and baptised. The Christians later refused to let
him be returned to his Jewish family, saying that giving him
back to the 'Christ-killers' would damn his soul to Hell. Unable
to reunite with his family, he is psychologically scarred. As an
adult he leads the Spanish Inquisition, which he oversees from
Domdaniel.
Although ordered to execute the witchbreed, he hides those
whom he can pass off as normal. Secretly a witchbreed
himself, he uses his activities as a cover to form a
"Brotherhood Of Those Who Will Inherit The Earth". The
society's name is a biblical allusion: "those that wait upon the
Lord, they shall inherit the earth."

Q.

According to Uncle Fred (Wodehouse’s “Uncle Fred in Springtime”)

‘I remember walking one day in Grosvenor Square with my aunt Brenda and
her pup dog Jabberwocky, and a policeman came up and said that the latter
ought to be wearing a muzzle. My aunt made no verbal reply. She merely
whipped her lorgnette from it’s holster and looked at the man, who gave one
choking gasp and fell back against the railings, without a mark on him but with
an awful look of horror in his staring eyes, as if he had seen some dreadful
sight. A doctor was sent for, and they managed to bring him round, but he was
never the same again. He had to leave the Force, and eventually drifted into
the grocery business. And that is how X got his start.’

King Edward VII and King George V both shared their interest in yachting with
X. Between 1899 and 1930 he challenged the American holders of the
America's Cup through the Royal Ulster Yacht Club five times with his yachts
called Shamrock - Shamrock V. His well publicised efforts to win the cup, which
earned him a specially designed cup for “the best of all losers”. Before the first
Football World Cup was held in 1930, X donated the X Trophy which was
contested in two international tournaments in Turin in 1909 and 1911.

X originated in Arizona in 1980, where a seven year old boy named Chris
Greicius was hospitalized with leukemia. The Arizona Department of
Public Safety, hospital workers and members of the community teamed
up and were able to grant his wish to become a police officer for one day.
Ample media coverage led to the founding of a permanent charity
organization, using Greicius' case as a model.
Today more than 30 countries have chapters of X.
Supporters of X include Mariah Carey, Jeff Gordon, the Orange County

1)Steven Pressfield's “The Legend of Bagger Vance” is a 19xx novel later made into
a movie starring Matt Damon and Will Smith.
In short, the story is that of Rannulph Junuh, once an acclaimed young golfer, a tour
of duty in World War I resulted in his enduring a horrific and devastating experience
which saw him return to his home of Savannah as a wholly different individual,
taken to a shadowy life of alcohol and gambling.

Junuh is steamrolled into representing his hometown in a championship golf match

and in the process is enlightened and guided by his friend, Bagger Vance, who has
also agreed to be his caddie. Bagger seeks to inspire Junuh to recover his talent to
play the sport like the champion he once was. Bagger first ensures a calming
presence that Junuh requires to discover his old technique. Thereafter Bagger
serves as Junuh’s helmsman, steering him through the turbulence he encounters
during the tournament. At one point Junuh orders Bagger Vance to drive his car
between the massed armies (of golf fans), where he laments: 'What good will any of
it do me, or anyone attached to it?‘.

The outcome of the game, we soon learn, depends on Bagger Vance who carries
the secret of "the Authentic Swing," and works to instill it in Junuh. By movie's end
the angelic Bagger succeeds, Junuh learns the lessons of life and wins the
tournament. The Philosophical nature of the movie is undeniable with it’s division
into discipline, wisdom and love.
Phew! Question is what famous work is “The Legend of Bagger Vance” based on?
R. Junuh – Arjuna Bagger Vance- Baghwan
2)The "_________" in English is a question of translation made most
famous by the still-in-print King James Bible of 1611, whose Genesis 37:3
reads

Now Israel loved Y more than all his children, because he was the son of
his old age: and he made him a __________.

The basic plotline is:

Y's father Jacob favored him and gave Y the ______ as a gift; as a
result, he was envied by his brothers, who saw the special ________ as
indicating that Y would assume family leadership. His brothers' suspicion
grew when Y told them of his two dreams in which all the brothers bowed
down to him. The narrative tells that his brothers plotted against him
one day when he was 17, and would have killed him had not the eldest
brother Reuben interposed. He persuaded them instead to throw Y into a
pit and secretly planned to rescue him later. However, while Reuben was
absent, the others planned to sell him to a company of Ishmaelite
merchants. When the passing Midianites arrived, the brothers dragged Y
up and sold him to the merchants for 20 pieces of silver. The brothers
then dipped Y's ________ in goat blood and showed it to their father,
saying that Y had been torn apart by wild beasts.
3)Princet is credited with introducing the work of Henri
Poincaré and the concept of the "fourth dimension" to the
_______ .Princet brought to Y's attention a book by Esprit
Jouffret, Traité élémentaire de géométrie à quatre dimensions
(Elementary Treatise on the Geometry of Four Dimensions,
1903),a popularization of Poincaré's Science and Hypothesis in
which Jouffret described complex polyhedra in four dimensions
and projected them onto the two-dimensional page.

Princet has studied at length non-Euclidean geometry and the

theorems of Riemann. Now then, Princet one day met Max Jacob
and confided him one or two of his discoveries relating to the
fourth dimension. Jacob informed the ingenious Y of it, and Y
saw there a possibility of new ornamental schemes. Y explained
his intentions to a colleague, who hastened to write them up in
formularies and codify them. The thing spread and propagated.
________, the child of M. Princet, was born .

1)The Octave Day of Easter is the Sunday after Easter Sunday. The
alternative names along with their origins are as follow:
Octave refers to an eight-day feast; the eighth and final day is the
"Octave Day"
St. Thomas Sunday – referring to Thomas the Apostle who comes to
believe in the Resurrection only after having placed his finger in the nail
marks and scars of Jesus. This event takes place on the Sunday after the
Resurrection.
Divine Mercy Sunday - culmination of the novena to the Divine Mercy of
Jesus, a devotion given to St. Faustina and promoted by Pope John Paul II.
Low Sunday -derives from its relative unimportance compared to the
solemnities of Easter Day.
White Sunday - the newly baptised would receive baptismal gowns that
would be worn until this day, and the official Latin name is Dominica in
Albis, "Sunday in White“.
______________ - comes from the Latin text of the traditional Introit
for this day, which begins “______ _______ geniti infantes..." ("As
newborn babes...", from the First Epistle of Peter 2:2). Literally, _______
_________ means "in the manner of [i.e. newborn babes]".
Quasimodo
2)AUDIO
3)The "man in black" seen on many Guatemalan folk charms is
Maximon, a local deity also know as Hermano San Simon.
Contemporary images do not depict the deity himself, but rather a
life-sized carved wooden statue of the god dressed in 20th
century clothing with his cigar in his mouth and a baston in hand
sitting in an old style chair and his bottle of “Aguardiente” , he
also has his bag of gold coins with him.
He symbolizes male sexual power. His feast day falls at the onset
of the fertile rainy season, but except for that day, his darker
aspect leads his devotees to carefully guard his visage from public
view, for fear that his sexuality may run rampant. He is sometimes
also called "the saint of gamblers and drunkards.".
Maximon is worshipped with offerings of tobacco, alcohol, Coca
Cola, and a tropical plant with orange-red berries. On his feast
day, he is carried through the streets on the shoulders of his
human "horse," and his statue is given cigarettes or cigars to
smoke. In some villages he may be hung from the sacred Mayan
world-tree-cross at the end of his ceremony.
How do we better know this "saint"?
Judas
4)The characteristically vivid phrase and concept ‘willing __________ of
____________ for the moment’ was coined by the poet, literary critic
and philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge in his Biographia Literaria,
published in 1817, in the context of the creation and reading of poetry
comparing his style with that of Wordsworth.

”... it was agreed, that my endeavors should be directed to persons and

characters supernatural, or at least romantic, yet so as to transfer from
our inward nature a human interest and a semblance of truth sufficient to
procure for these shadows of imagination that willing __________ of
____________ for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith. Mr.
Wordsworth on the other hand was to propose to himself as his object, to
give the charm of novelty to things of every day, and to excite a feeling
analogous to the supernatural, by awakening the mind's attention from the
lethargy of custom, and directing it to the loveliness and the wonders of
the world before us ...”

In the 1994 film Ed Wood, the main character, Ed Wood, played by

Johnny Depp, uses the term in the dialog. He is on the set of Plan 9 from
Outer Space. He is arguing with one of the producers who asks, "How
'bout that the policemen arrive in the daylight, but now it's suddenly
night?" to which Ed replies "You don't know anything! Haven't you ever
heard of '_________ of _________?"
Suspension of Disbelief
5)This tale has X attending a boring dinner party at the Government House in
Nassau with a group of socialites he can't stand. The gist:-

X makes a remark after dinner, about always having thought it would be nice
to marry an air hostess. This results in the Governor of The Bahamas telling X
a sad tale about a relationship between a former civil servant he calls Philip
Masters, stationed in Bermuda, and air hostess Rhoda Llewellyn. After
meeting aboard a flight to London the two eventually married but later Rhoda
became unhappy with her life as a housewife. She begins an open affair with
the eldest son of a rich Bermudan family. Masters' suffers a nervous
breakdown. After recovery he is given a break from Bermuda by the governor
and sent to Washington to negotiate fishing rights with the US. Masters
returns a few months later and decides to end his marriage. Masters returns
alone to the UK, leaving a penniless Rhoda stranded in Bermuda. But Masters
never recovered emotionally, nor recaptured any spark of vitality. The
governor goes on to tell X how after a time Rhoda married a rich Canadian and
seems to be happy. When X remarks that she hardly deserved her good
fortune, the governor says that Masters had always been rather weak, and
that perhaps Fate chose Rhoda as its instrument to teach him a lesson. X
deduces that the dinner companions whom he found so boring were Rhoda and
her new husband, and he tells the governor she was much more interesting
than he had thought.
6)Roger Waters of Pink Floyd asserts that Y had
plagiarized themes from "Echoes" for sections of X;
nevertheless, he decided not to file a lawsuit regarding
the matter.

"Yeah, the beginning of that bloody __________ song

is from Echoes. *DAAAA-da-da-da-da-da* . I couldn't
believe it when I heard it. It's the same time signature
- it's 12/8 and it's the same structure and it's the
same notes and it's the same everything. It probably is
actionable. It really is! But I think that life's too short
to bother with suing Y.”

Waters did, however, respond by adding a reference to

Y in the song It's a Miracle on the Amused to Death
album ("Y's awful stuff runs for years and years and
years / An earthquake hits the theatre but the
operetta lingers / Then the piano lid comes down and
breaks his fucking fingers. It's a Miracle").

____ and X?
_______ was designed by Saul Bass of Bass/Yager &
Associates in 1984, as a replacement. It was made up of very
carefully delineated 'highlight' and 'shadow' elements, to give

________ started out with 24 versions and a complex set of
rules for its proper usage. This became a problem however and
in 1999, decided on an “eight-line standard”, regardless of size.
________ was again modified in 2005.
“______” is quoted as the state motto of California, referring to
the momentous discovery of gold near Sutter's Mill in 1848. The
California State Seal has included the word “______” since its
original design by Robert S. Garnett in 1849; the official text
from that time describing the seal states that this word's meaning
applies "either to the principle involved in the admission of the
State or the success of the miner at work".
In 1957, the state legislature attempted to make "In God We
Trust" the state motto, but this attempt did not succeed, and
“______” became the official motto in 1963.
EUREKA Clue was "Archimedes death ray"
Quoted by Charles Baldwin –
“I was working with the Dow Chemical company at the time, in
1966, And it became obvious to us that there was no
standardization. We saw a need for this kind and proceeded to
develop some with the help of the Dow marketing people. We
wanted something that was memorable but meaningless, so we
could educate people as to what it means.
The original color was blaze orange, one of the colors chosen in
Arctic explorations, as being the most visible under the most
conditions. It was three-sided because if it were on a box and the
box was moved around, transported, it might wind up in different
positions. Another thing -- we needed something that was easily
stenciled.”

Its heroine is called Helen X; Helen was X's first name.
In the first chapter, "Town", Helen is a teenage runaway begging on the
streets of London with only her pet rat and her X books for company. She has
fled her uncaring mother and sexually abusive father. She moves into a squat
with some young men who save her from the unwanted attentions of a Tory
MP. When she is later spotted by the MP, she is forced to flee from the
police. She returns to the squat to find that her rat has been killed by the
squatters' cat.
"Road" sees Helen making her way north towards the Lake District, drawn by
its connection with X, and accompanied by a giant vision of her rat. Eventually
a driver makes a pass at her. She fights him off with such ferocity that he
crashes the car. Helen flees into the evening, eventually passing out outside a
mysterious building.
In "Country" it is revealed that Helen collapsed outside a country pub and has
been taken on as a waitress there. Walking in the hills (still with her giant
imaginary rat) and reading self-help books helps her to heal her wounds.
Finally she visits Hill Top, X's home, and imagines finding a lost X book - "The
Tale of One Bad Rat" - whose story echoes her own and gives a happy ending.

2)Grip I, was the first of three ______'s named Grip
that were owned by Charles Dickens. Grip died in 1841,
possibly as a result of eating lead paint. Dickens's children
wanted their father to include Grip as a character in one of
his books, so Grip appears in *Barnaby Rudge* (1841). X
reviewed *Barnaby Rudge*, and criticized Dickens for not
using the _______ as a more prophetic element in the
story. The theory is that X wrote his most famous work to
show how he could do precisely that, use the ________ as a
prophetic element.
One scene in Barnaby Rudge, in particular bears a
resemblance to X's work. At the end of the fifth chapter of
Dickens's novel, Grip makes a noise and someone says,
"What was that – him tapping at the door?" The response is,
"‘Tis someone knocking softly at the shutter."

4)Alex Osborn is most famous for inventing the concept
of ___________. It was in 1938 that the organized
ideation was first employed at BBDO. Osborn does not
take complete credit for inventing the procedure, he said
that type of conference procedure has been known to be
used in India for more the 400 years as part of the
technique of Hindu teachers while working with religious
groups. The Indian name for that method is Prai-Barshana
(Prai means “outside yourself” and Barshana means
“question).

Recently the term '___________' has been considered

politically incorrect as it can cause offence to people with
epilepsy. Favored terms include thought shower or word
shower. The only notable institutions to disallow the use
of this word are the Department of Enterprise, Trade and
Investment and the Welsh Development Agency. However,
many mental health charities state that they don't believe
the term to be offensive, citing it as an urban legend

5)The _____________ Grand Prix was a car race which was a
Formula One World Championship event in 1981 and 1982.The race
ended the season, whereas but it was not popular among the
drivers, primarily because of the desert heat. The track was laid
out in the parking lot of the X hotel and was surprisingly well set
up for a temporary circuit: wide enough for overtaking, it provided
ample run-off areas filled with sand, and had a surface that was as
smooth as glass. Its counter-clockwise direction, however, put a
tremendous strain on the drivers' necks. When Nelson Piquet
clinched his first World Championship by finishing fifth in 1981, it
took him fifteen minutes to recover from heat exhaustion after
barely making it to the finish. The 1982 race was won by Michele
Alboreto in a Tyrrell, but that was the end of Formula One racing
in _________ since the races had drawn only tiny crowds.
There have been speculative rumors of a return of the
__________ Grand Prix to the F1 calendar, especially after the
2005 United States Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, however it is one of many circuit linked with future
races, and a strict limit on the number of races in a year means
__________ is not a favorite for a race.

The story focuses on 13-year-old Joel Knox following the loss of his
mother. Joel is sent from New Orleans to live with his father. Joel
meets a defiant Idabel, a tomboyish girl who becomes his friend and
soon offers Joel the love and approval he seeks. Joel knows he isn't
as brave as Idabel or half as tough, but he can't help liking her and
she seemed to like him. Idabel is in many ways the most successful
characterization in "Other Voices, Other Rooms," a child with
personality to burn.
Charles Baker "Dill" Harris is
described as a child having light hair
and being short for his age. Dill
spends the summer with his aunt,
Miss Rachel Haverford, in Maycomb.
He lives for the rest of the year in
Meridian, Mississippi. Dill has a crush
on Scout and wants to marry her in
the future. Dill arguably has the
most interest in Arthur "Boo" Radley,
which he often entertains by
hatching various plans to make Mr.
Radley come out of his house. He is
also known for telling stories about
his father and family in general,
often contradicting them in another
story. As the years pass, it is evident
that Dill's home life is not as he
presents it. He is, in fact, very lonely
and comes to Scout and Jem for
friendship and company, as his
parents can give him materialistic
things but not the love he longs for.

The expression is from a local Piedmontese dialect that seems
difficult to translate without offending someone. It is the sort
of thing a northern Italian male might say to express
appreciation of a particularly attractive female. Considered
untranslatable into English, it is seen as the northern Italian
verbal equivalent of the ‘Wolf Whistle’.
A now famous brand takes it’s name from the expression,
when Nuccio Bertone first saw ‘PROJECT 112’ (as it was
then known before unveiling) in his studio.

Nightmare Cinema was a spoof rock band whose
lineup comprised members of _____ playing
instruments other than their usual instrument of choice.
The spoof band debuted at The House Of Blues,
Chicago, 1997. The song they would usually play was
Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers".
Members of Y said that Nightmare Cinema is the “Evil
Twin” or “Mr. Hyde” of Y.
“Evil Twin” was meant to be taken literally…
At it’s very first TV appearance, Y appears, clothed entirely in
black. X introduces Y by saying “we don't know its name, we
really don't know its name, nobody knows its name, and we
don't wanna know..”
At the start of season 3, Y is “killed off” by falling overboard
an aircraft carrier while performing a stunt.
A new incarnation of Y was introduced soon after.
X would often introduce Y by offering humorous speculations
as to his identity, often including references to topical news
stories, such as “long before anyone else he realized that Jade
Goody was a racist, pig-faced, waste of blood and organs….”

Y’s brother X made a potentially controversial gesture in front of
TV cameras on 2nd March 2008, in support of Y.
X said: "It was a spontaneous and emotional reaction but was only

“The _________ Defense” is a popular term coined by X
referring to the online publication of legal documents in X’s
case “to support his innocence”. These included his attorney's
motion for dismissal, a document package containing the
details, and a PowerPoint presentation. This action earned
considerable but sometimes skeptical media coverage.
X attempted to draw on the collective resources of fans, using
the internet to allow widely distributed review of evidence in
his case.
He encouraged people to look at all of the evidence, saying,
"We'll call it the _________ defense, and I would have given
everything to you sooner but had a very hard time selling the
idea to the lawyers."

and Pulitzer Prize winning entomologist, Bert
Hölldobler, criticized ___________ because of
the following reasons:-

Firstly, ________ has portrayed the anatomy of

the protagonist incorrectly, giving him female

2)In many slums and low income areas of Kenya,
people who find beer too expensive often resort
to cheap home brews. But these potent drinks
which include traditional spirits known as
chang'aa have on a several occasions proved
lethal. Some consumers have died and others
have been blinded. It's believed brewers spike
the beer with deadly additives. So one brewery,
East African Breweries Limited (EABL), spotted
a market opportunity for a cheap beer that is
also safe. The result: _______ Keg beer, known
simply by drinkers as "Y". The product has
proved as popular as Y in the intervening years,
but with more beer for less money there are
fears it could contribute to a rise in alcoholism in
Kenya.

1)X is a Turkish word meaning _____. Y came up with the name
during a trip to the Ottoman Empire (modern-day Turkey), where he
was impressed with the Sultan's elite guards also called X because of
their bravery and loyalty

The word X is also a variation of the Germanic family name _______

from the time of the Norman Conquest. It is composed of two words,
"god" and "protection/helmet."

Although X can be read as an original character, many readers see

parallels with the character and story of Christ.

According to Y, he is not an allegorical portrayal of Christ, but

rather a different, hypothetical, incarnation of Christ himself: "If X
represented the immaterial Deity, he would be an allegorical figure.
In reality however, he is an invention giving an imaginary answer to
the question, 'What might Christ become like if there really were a
world like __________ and He chose to be incarnate and die and
rise again in that world as He actually has done in ours?' This is not
allegory at all." .
2)Y were an English blues rock supergroup founded in 1973, consisting of
band members from Free (X, Simon Kirke), Mott the Hoople (Mick Ralphs),
and King Crimson (Boz Burrell). Y was managed by Peter Grant, who had
also guided Led Zeppelin to massive success. The band enjoyed great
success throughout the 1970s.

Singer X was so enamored of the 1972 American Western film Y that he

chose to name his band after it. The film was also purportedly the
inspiration for the band's eponymous album and breakthrough single.

Y recording history is divided into 4 eras:-

The original X era (1973–1982)
The Brian Howe era (1986–1994)
The Robert Hart era (1995–1997)
The second X era (1998–2002)

In late 2004 surviving members of the Queen proposed a collaboration

with X, in which he would sing lead vocals on a European tour. The
participants clearly stated, including on Brian May's own website, "that X
would be "featured with" Queen as: "Queen + X", not replacing the late
Freddie Mercury". The group subsequently released a live album with
songs from Queen, Y and Free, called Return of the Champions
3)When the nominees for the 53rd Annual Academy
Awards were announced , many in the industry were
appalled that this X was not going to be honored for its
Y. At the time there was not regular category and
winners for Y were cited with a special award. Feeling
that the movie deserved to be rewarded for it’s Y, a
letter of protest was sent to the Academy's Board of
Governors to ask them to change their minds and give the
film a special award. The Academy refused, but in
response to the outcry, they decided a year later to
reward Y with their own annual category, and thus the
best Y award was born.

4)X is a motor racing team based in the United Kingdom,founded in
1996 by Trevor _______ and Martin Stone to operate a pit-stop
challenge campaign for Williams F1 around Europe.

In 1998, X was voted Team of the Year by the Formula Three

Association for the high standards of their presentation and their
impressive results with newcomer Y

In 1998, Y made his debut in the British Formula Three Championship

with the X team. Competing in only 10 rounds, he managed two 3rd

6)A number of origins have been proposed for the name

English philologist Walter William Skeat proposed an
etymological origin in a term for "Woodpecker" citing the Old
Dutch term _______ for the bird. Skeat states that the black
woodpecker is common in Norway and Sweden and further
reasons that the "indominatable nature" and that the "bird
fights to the death" could have potentially influenced the
choice of the name.
Henry Sweet, a philologist and early linguist specializing in
Germanic languages, proposed that the name _______ literally
means "bear“ in Old X languages. This etymology is mirrored
in recorded instances of similar names. Fill Blanks
