The movie X's plot has striking similarities with Harlan Ellison's short story trilogy, "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream", "Soldier" and "Demon With a Glass Hand".

Though Ellison was not acknowledged for any inspiration, the director Y did an interview with Starlog magazine, where he was asked where he got the idea for X. He was reported to have bragged that he ripped off a couple of Harlan Ellison stories.

Unfortunately for Y, Ellison was friends with some of the staff there, who leaked him the original draft of the interview containing the admission and took Y to court. They ended up settling, and to this very day, Harlan Ellison has an "Acknowledgement" credit on X.

Andreas Escobar of Colombia.

He was shot dead outside a night club in Colombia,allegedly for scoring an own goal in a match against host nation USA at the FIFA 1994 World Cup

He was 6'4" tall and weighed 250 pounds and was national heavyweight champion of his country for nine years, from 1951-1960. He excelled at swimming, basketball and rugby too. When he received complaints from his fellow boxers that white judges were cheating them he paved an immediate solution for this. He advised the boxers to knock out their opponents as a means of countering the controversial decisions. During his time, his national boxing team, the Bombers, was ranked 3rd in the world in amateur boxing. Not known for his tact, he once sent a sneering telegram to his neighbor: "I love you very much, and if you had been a woman, I would have considered marrying you, although your head is full of gray hairs. But as you are a man, that possibility does not arise." He later challenged the neighbor to a boxing match. Name this “gentleman”.
