It has been speculated that sailors who often went above
and below deck might have needed to keep one eye
adjusted to the darkness below decks.The strong sunlight
while above deck on an oceangoing vessel could require
minutes of adaptation to the dim lighting below deck. With
virtually no light sources below deck, sailors would have to
rely heavily upon their eyes to adjust. In the critical
moments of modifying the rigging, navigating, and especially
during battle, those minutes were too precious. This is the
reason behind a popular culture happening. What am I
talking about ?

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", which was a nonsense word, 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.

subsequent installments had names such as X-95, X-98, this first
installment was not called X-93 but something else.
This product was revolutionary in a sense that it shifted the paradigm of
how such products were designed and what technology was used. Over
the years, minor and major improvements in quality and appearance have
pushed this product to the very top. There has however been stiff
competition from at least one another company that makes such a
product, and the two rival products have staunch supporters and
detractors. While both these companies battle rampant piracy, the former
has an advantage over the masses due to its extensive licensing rights
that provides users with an original experience.

The Yiddish word derives from the Hebrew word meaning
"insolence", "cheek” or "audacity". The modern English usage
of the word has taken on a broader meaning, having been
popularized through vernacular use in film, literature, and
television. The word is sometimes interpreted—particularly in
business parlance as meaning the amount of courage, mettle
or ardor that an individual has. In Hebrew, It is used
indignantly, to describe someone who has overstepped the
boundaries of accepted behaviour. In traditional usage, the
word expresses a strong sense of disapproval, condemnation
and outrage.

the similar shape of early grenades and the name entered

Q25.
Back in the day, animation was an artist’s job, and not a computer’s.
Every tiny detail of a cartoon individual had to be drawn painstakingly
and meticulously some 30 to 40 thousand times, and omitting some
small details or altering them to make things ‘easier to draw’ would not
only make cartoonists breathe a sigh of relief but also potentially saved
millions of dollars in man hours.
This is the popular explanation bandied about by people when trying to
explain a certain characteristic shared by many cartoons (This is the
norm rather than the exception even now, when animation is computer
dominated). So much so, that in The Simpsons, God is the only
character not to share this characteristic.

Currently any individual can ask Google to erase certain search results
under the “right to be forgotten” concept which has been upheld in
European law.
Using this to his advantage is X, about whom a leading newspaper
Lavenir claims that he has asked Google to erase all references to his
poor performance in the 2014 FIFA World Cup from their search engine
According to Lavenir, X has filled in the online forms to ensure his poor

processed. Apparently, X is keen to remove any references to a score

show results where he is named as one of the flops of the World Cup.
Who Is the guy to put in this bizarre request?
