7. ID X
After surrendering the fort over to the Nawab of Bengal, the 146 survivors–
comprised of British soldiers, Angle-Indian soldiers, and civilians–were crammed
into a small prison cell (one with arguable dimensions). As the cell was
demolished hundreds of years ago, we will never know the real size; however,
estimates range from 18 x 14, to 22 x 14. The majority of the prisoners inside
would die overnight due to crushing, suffocation, and heat exhaustion.
In fact, there is much we don’t know about what occurred in The X of Calcutta.
There are those that believe it impossible that 146 prisoners were placed in The X
of Calcutta.
8. ID X
It was the 1700’s and John Montague, the fourth Earl of X, was in the middle of an
intense card game. Needing to keep a free hand to play cards, he ordered his valet
to grab some specific food items and mix them(NOT ACTUALLY) and voila, the X
was created.People started to order “the same as X”, and thus the name stuck.
However, there is some evidence to suggest that the X was created long before
the 1700’s; in fact, before the common era. Between 70 BCE and 10 CE, Rabbi
Hillel the Elder was thought to have invented the X. As the story goes, Hillel the
Elder took a combination of fruits, nuts, honey, and bitter herbs and placed it with
matzah.

When X was attacked, Y described the day of the attack as “a

On September 11, 2001, four planes were hijacked and used as

dead, and over 6,000 injured.
12. Id X and Y
The word X comes from sanskrit which translates as “to
be good”. Before the Y party got a hold of it, the X was
symbolic for life, strength and good fortune. In Jainism, it
represents the cycles of life, the destinies: heavenly
beings, human beings, animal beings, hellish beings. In
Hinduism, it represents the purusharthas: dharma, artha,
kama, and moksha.

Norwegian fleet. When his more conservative superior officer flagged for
him to withdraw, the one-eyed Nelson supposedly brought his telescope
to his bad eye and blithely proclaimed, “I really do not see the signal.” He
went on to score a decisive victory. Some historians have since dismissed
Nelson’s famous quip as merely a battlefield myth, but the phrase persists

Greek soldier Pheidippides arrives in Athens with news of the Greek victory over the
Persians at X, only to die on the spot, 490 BC. In 490 B.C., as the story goes, a Greek
soldier ran from X to Athens, a distance of just over 26 miles, to bring news of the
Athenian victory over the Persians in the Battle of X. After delivering his message, the
soldier promptly died. Over the centuries, his story became conflated with that of another,
more famous, Greek soldier: Pheidippides. Before the Battle of X took place, Pheidippides
ran from Athens to Sparta to warn other Greeks of the Persian invasion, reportedly
covering some 250 kilometers of uneven terrain in only two days. Unfortunately, Sparta
was in the middle of a religious celebration when he arrived, and the Spartans were
unable to mobilize for war until it was too late; the battle was already over. The first
modern X took place at the revived Y in Athens in 1896 and was won—fittingly—by a
Greek runner, Spyridon Louis.

Palle Huld (2 August 1912 – 26 November 2010) was a Danish film actor and writer.
He appeared in 40 films between 1933 and 2000. He was born in Hellerup in
Denmark. His journey around the world at the age of 15 in 1928 reportedly inspired
Y to create X.
In 1898, Benjamin Rabier and Fred Isly published an illustrated story titled X-Lutin
("X the Goblin"), in which they featured a small goblin boy named X, who had a
rounded face and quiff. Y claimed that Rabier's manner of drawing animals had
influenced him, although he swore that he was unaware of the existence of X-Lutin
until one of his readers informed him of the similarity in 1970.
X's creator died in 1983, yet his creation remains a popular literary figure, even
featured in a 2011 Hollywood film, directed by Steven Spielberg.
