X had to ban a certain Y from submitting his Tetris score to X
Power Magazine in 1988, as he would top the listings every
month. The company X, which was founded on September
23rd, 1889, reportedly wanted fresh names and did not
accept Y’s submissions. Y, then, interestingly, submitted his
next entry as ‘Evets Kainzow’ . Give me X and Y.
X – Nintendo
Y – Steve Wozniak
X and Y, known in Japan as Dogars and Matadogas, were
conceived and developed by Ken Sugimori. Their English names
are a play on words related to symptoms caused by the noxious
fumes they emit. Originally, the characters were intended to be
named "NY" and "LA" respectively in English localizations,
intended as homage to the heavy pollution of American cities
New York City and Los Angeles. Id X and Y.
Koffing and Weezing
This image is of X’s painting Y. Another invention of the Early Renaissance,
the skull (can only be viewed from an anamorphic perspective) is meant to
be a visual puzzle as the viewer must approach the painting nearly from
high on the right side, or low on the left side, to see the form as an
accurate rendering of a human skull. While the skull is evidently intended
as a vanitas or memento mori , it is unclear why X gave it such prominence
in this painting. One possibility is that this painting represents three levels:
the heavens (as portrayed by the astrolabe and other objects on the upper
shelf), the living world (as evidenced by books and a musical instrument
on the lower shelf), and death (signified by the skull). It has also been
hypothesized that the painting is meant to hang in a stairwell, so that
persons walking up the stairs and passing the painting on their left would
be startled by the appearance of the skull. A further possibility is that X
simply wished to show off his ability with the technique in order to secure
future commissions. Artists often incorporated skulls as a reminder of
mortality, or at the very least, death. X may have intended the skulls (one
as a gray slash and the other as a medallion on Jean de Dinteville's hat)
and the crucifix in the upper left corner to encourage contemplation of
one's impending death and the resurrection. Give me X and Y.

The name of this place, derived from West Flemish (a

(BEF) in France aiding the French, was cut off from the rest

X is a family of confections made with sugar or honey, roasted
nuts (almonds, walnuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, and macadamia
nuts are common), whipped egg whites, and sometimes
chopped candied fruit. The word X comes from the Latin word
for 'nut bread' .There are three basic kinds of X. The first, and
most common, is white X, made with beaten egg whites and
honey; the second is brown X, which is made without egg whites
and has a firmer, often crunchy texture. The third is the Viennese
or German X which is essentially a chocolate and nut (usually
hazelnut) praline. Id X, which recently became famous for a

Nougat ( Android 7.0)
Andy Warhol
Piss Paintings or Oxidation Paintings.
Warhol invited friends and acquaintances to urinate onto a
canvas covered in metallic paint in order to cause oxidation.
The uric acid reacted with the copper in the paint, removing
components of the pure metal to form mineral salts. Some
colors developed immediately while others like blue and
green formed later on top of the red or brown copper oxides.

“The basic story, or concept – it's about a woman growing up,
who goes to live in the city, very isolated, and she disappears one
day and no one notices. There's more to it than that. Now,
what's really interesting about this story is that your initial
reaction when you hear a story like that is, 'Ah, little old bag lady
that no one notices, no one cares about.' [ Carol Vincent] wasn't
[like that]. She was young, she was popular, she was attractive,
she had many friends, she had family, but for whatever reason,
nobody missed her for three years.“

X is a fictional cosmic entity created by writer H. P. Lovecraft
and first introduced in the short story "The Call of X" . X,
interestingly, has appeared as a parody candidate in several
elections, including the 2010 Polish presidential election and
the 2012/2016 US presidential elections. The faux campaigns

The late naturalist E. P. Gee brought this phenomenon to global
attention in the 1960s. He drove to ____ , in North Cachar Hills
District, Assam, India .The cause of it is likely to be disorientation

fog characteristic at the time. The zoological survey of India sent
Sudhir Sengupta to unravel this mystery. He concluded that the
birds, mostly juveniles and local migrants, are disturbed by high
velocity winds at their roost. When the disturbed birds fly
towards lights as refuge they are hit with bamboo poles and
killed or injured. The local tribals first took this natural
phenomenon to be spirits flying from the sky to terrorize them

Quiz club (questions and answers)

  • 1. X had to ban a certain Y from submitting his Tetris score to X Power Magazine in 1988, as he would top the listings every month. The company X, which was founded on September 23rd, 1889, reportedly wanted fresh names and did not accept Y’s submissions. Y, then, interestingly, submitted his next entry as ‘Evets Kainzow’ . Give me X and Y.
  • 2. X – Nintendo Y – Steve Wozniak
  • 3. X and Y, known in Japan as Dogars and Matadogas, were conceived and developed by Ken Sugimori. Their English names are a play on words related to symptoms caused by the noxious fumes they emit. Originally, the characters were intended to be named "NY" and "LA" respectively in English localizations, intended as homage to the heavy pollution of American cities New York City and Los Angeles. Id X and Y.
  • 5.
  • 6. This image is of X’s painting Y. Another invention of the Early Renaissance, the skull (can only be viewed from an anamorphic perspective) is meant to be a visual puzzle as the viewer must approach the painting nearly from high on the right side, or low on the left side, to see the form as an accurate rendering of a human skull. While the skull is evidently intended as a vanitas or memento mori , it is unclear why X gave it such prominence in this painting. One possibility is that this painting represents three levels: the heavens (as portrayed by the astrolabe and other objects on the upper shelf), the living world (as evidenced by books and a musical instrument on the lower shelf), and death (signified by the skull). It has also been hypothesized that the painting is meant to hang in a stairwell, so that persons walking up the stairs and passing the painting on their left would be startled by the appearance of the skull. A further possibility is that X simply wished to show off his ability with the technique in order to secure future commissions. Artists often incorporated skulls as a reminder of mortality, or at the very least, death. X may have intended the skulls (one as a gray slash and the other as a medallion on Jean de Dinteville's hat) and the crucifix in the upper left corner to encourage contemplation of one's impending death and the resurrection. Give me X and Y.
