5. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 6, 2006 Howe & Ser Moving Company has completed its latest job: moving a Spanish-American War cannon (Fleming Cannon) from the pits of Pasadena, CA to sunny Cambridge, MA. The cannon arrived with one addition: a giant Brass Rat, the X class ring. In the past, the cannon graced the front yard of Y and took a brief vacation to Harvey Mudd. However, Howe & Ser Moving Co. has yet to be contracted to move the cannon back to Y, suggesting it has taken up long-term residence at X.

15. There is a widely held belief that no two X are alike. Strictly speaking, it is extremely unlikely for any two macroscopic objects in the universe to contain an identical molecular structure; but there are, nonetheless, no known scientific laws that prevent it. In a more pragmatic sense, it's more likely—albeit not much more—that two X are virtually identical if their environments were similar enough, either because they grew very near one another, or simply by chance. The American Meteorological Society has reported that matching X were discovered in Wisconsin in 1988 by Nancy Knight. The crystals were not X in the usual sense but rather hollow hexagonal prisms. What is X
17. X is "the study of, or belief in, the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits (negative X) or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have inheritable desirable traits (positive X)."As a social movement X reached its height of popularity in the early decades of the 20th century. By the end of World War II X had been largely abandoned, Though current trends in genetics have raised questions amongst critical academics concerning parallels between pre-war attitudes about X and current "utilitarian" and social darwinistic theories. At its pre-war zenith, the movement often pursued pseudoscientific notions of racial supremacy and purity.

23. In this instrument a felt covered hammers to strikes steel strings. The hammers rebound, allowing the strings to continue vibrating at their resonant frequency. These vibrations are transmitted through a bridge to a sounding board that couples the acoustic energy to the air so that it can be heard as sound. These instruments are sometimes classified as both a percussion and a stringed instrument. According to the Hornbostel-Sachs method of music classification, it is grouped with Chordophones.
29. In Greek mythology they were female spirits, they were dressed in white, decked with garlands of flowers, but they frequently had unnatural legs, like those of a goat, donkey or cow. They were so beautiful that the highest compliment was to compare some feature of a woman (eyes, hair, etc.) with that of nereid. They could move swiftly and invisibly, ride through the air and slip through small holes. Although not immortal, their lives exceeded a human's tenfold, and they retained their beauty until death. They tended to frequent areas distant from humans, but could be encountered by lone travellers outside the village, where their music might be heard, and the traveller could spy on their dancing or bathing in a stream or pool, either during the noon heat or in the middle of the night. They might appear in a whirlwind. Such encounters could be dangerous, bringing dumbness, besotted infatuation, madness or stroke to the unfortunate human.

An appeal to spare his life so that he could continue his experiments was cut short by the judge: "The Republic needs neither scientists nor chemists; the course of justice can not be delayed."
