Orson Welles' dream project was to bring Joseph Conrad's 'Hearts of Darkness' to the big screen. The studios on the other hand told him to phuque off as it would involve insanely ginormous levels of expenditure.

'A' was famously based on Orson Welles. Although very cold and detached on the outside, he

has a very subtle sense of humour (meaning we didn't get it). He was the result of a project

aiming for ‘Biological Recombinant Algorithmic Intelligence Nexus'. He has been compared to

Don Quixote and Napoleon Bonaparte. Once, when under hypnosis during a session with

Freud, it was revealed that he was taken away from his home, when very young, by

experimenters, and the last he saw of his house was a picture of the Earth. So basically all his

life he has been trying to 'get his world back'.

'B' lives with A, and is his unofficial sidekick. Intellectually he is highly compromised. He uses

nonsensical terms like 'zort', 'narf' etc a lot in his conversations, which he conducts in a thick

cockney accent. His name was given to him by A. He thought A was calling to him, when A

was actually referring to his finger. His lines contain a lot a pop culture refences, simply

This is one of the most famous scenes in cinema history. It was shot from

December 17 to December 23, 1959, and features between 71 and 78

angles (the exact number is unknown). The scene "runs 3 minutes and

includes 50 cuts." Most of the shots are extreme close-ups, except for

medium shots directly before and directly after the incident depicted. The

combination of the close shots with the short duration between cuts makes

the sequence feel longer, more subjective, more uncontrolled, and more

violent than would the images if they presented alone or in a wider angle.

all of 15 minutes, the caper was not as smooth as people remember it. It wasn't non-

artist O'Galop (Marius Rossillon), and is one of the world's oldest trademarks. André X

meaning "Now is the time to drink." (The ad showed the ‘X Man’ drinking down a

beverage filled with spikes, nails, glass, etc. to show that its product was tough and

could withstand the rigors of the open road). The original Y wore glasses and smoked a

It is actually surprising that human beings do not have 24 pairs of

chromosomes. Chimpanzees have 24 pairs of chromosomes; so do gorillas

and orang-utans. Chromosome 2, the second biggest of the human

chromosomes, is in fact formed from the fusion of two medium-sized ape

chromosomes. X, in his message to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on

22nd October, 1996, argued that between ancestral apes and modern human

beings, there was an ‘ontological discontinuity’- a point at which God

injected a human soul into an animal lineage. Thus the Church can be

reconciled to the evolutionary theory. Perhaps the ontological leap came at

the moment when two ape chromosomes were fused, and the genes for the

soul lie near the middle of chromosome 2. Id X.

only in India).

While most songs on The Wall were written by Roger Waters alone, most of the music

for “X" was written by David Gilmour, who originally recorded it for his first solo album.

Gilmour later decided not to use it for his album, and instead brought his demo of it to

The Wall sessions.

According to Rolling Stone, the lyrics came from Roger Waters' experience when he was

injected with tranquillizers for hepatitis by a doctor prior to playing a Pink Floyd show in

Philadelphia, on the band's 1977 tour for the Animals album.

Like the rest of the songs on the album, "X" tells a part of the story of Pink, the album's

protagonist. A doctor is sent into the room and gives Pink an injection that gives him

the energy he needs to perform. The lyrics are written as a conversation, with Waters

voicing the doctor and Gilmour voicing Pink.

The term “X” means yoking. It was the word used by the Vedic Aryans to describe

the tethering of the draught animals to their war chariots before a raid. Warriors

were men of “X”. They were like devas, perpetually on the move and constantly

engaged in military activity, while the sluggish asuras stayed at home. By the 6th

century, however, the new men of “X” were engaged in the conquest of inner

space; instead of waging war, they were dedicated to non-violence. The word

“X”, in Hindu literature, first appears in the Katha Upanishad.

The first appearance of the word is X from 1784 and means an odd person. It later acquired

a meaning of to make fun of, or to mock. The Oxford English dictionary has a citation from

1847 where the word appears: "She com back and (modified form of X) us”, which could be

a clue to its origin.

According to a well known untrue story, in 1791 a Dublin theater owner named James Daly

made a bet that he could introduce a word into the language within twenty-four hours. He

then went out and hired a group of street urchins to write the word ‘X’ on walls around

the city of Dublin. Within a day, the word was common currency and had acquired a

meaning (since no one knew what it meant, everyone thought it was some sort of test),

and Daly had some extra cash in his pocket. However, there is no evidence to support the

story, and the term was already in use before the alleged bet in 1791.

schoolgirl Ms. _____ Sawyer whose pet followed her to school. A Mr. John

Blessed are those, who knoweth Q.

The Wall Street Journal had a story on the Chilkur Balaji Temple located near

Hyderabad on December 31st 2007. The temple has been around for over 100

years, but it’s only in the last few years that it has discovered its USP.

Draws more than 100,000 pilgrims a week. As per the local legend, anyone

desirous of seeking a wish fulfillment from Chilkur Balaji must first make 11

pradakshinas at the temple, and after it’s granted, one must return to perform

108 pradakshinas as a way of expressing gratitude.

The temple’s also unique in the sense that there’s no hundi and does not

accept any offerings from devotees.

Give us the USP of this temple.

Q99

The origin of the term K can be traced back to the Ancient Greeks, who like every

single civilization in the history of civilizations, hated foreigners. To poke fun at

them, they used to call them K's, because they thought their language consisted

of only a single word 'bar' repeated again and again, much like the modern 'blah'.

K yenu?
