 X is a weather phenomenon in which luminous plasma is created by
a coronal discharge from a sharp or pointed object in a
strong electric field in the atmosphere (such as those generated
by thunderstorms or created by a volcanic eruption).Often seen on
the masts of sailing ships it is hailed a good omen by some sailors
while others call it a bad omen. Benjamin Franklin was intrigued by

 X, in psychoanalytic theory, is a desire for sexual involvement
with the parent of the opposite sex and an associated sense
of rivalry with the parent of the same sex. Sigmund Freud
introduced the concept in his Interpretation of Dreams
(1899). Though Freud considered it to be a subconscious
longing in all humans it has been proved otherwise and has
been termed as an extremely unhealthy psychological
ailment. It has been proved that Freud himself suffered from
X and so did Shakespeare’s Hamlet. What is X?

 One of the stories that The Roman orator Cicero made use
of in his Tusculanae Disputationes, V. 21, is about the
sword of Damocles. According to the story, pandering to his
king, Dionysius, who was known to be tyrannical, his
coutier Damocles exclaimed that, as a great man of power
and authority surrounded by magnificence, Dionysius was
truly extremely fortunate. Dionysius then offered to switch
places with Damocles, so that Damocles could taste that
very fortune firsthand. Damocles quickly and eagerly
accepted the king's proposal. Damocles sat down in the
king's throne surrounded by every luxury, but Dionysius
arranged that a huge sword should hang above the throne,
held at the pommel only by a X. What was the sword of
Damocles held at the pommel by?

 This picture is a timeline of the gradual development of
mathematical design starting with the development of
the Vastu Shastra in 3000 BC and the most recent
development being in 2009. This is a original graphic of
a 27 page long explanation of the development of X.
What is X?

 A X is a road or street that appears on maps but does not
exist in reality. X generally occur when city
planners or subdivision developers lay out and dedicate
streets that are never built. Commercial street maps based
only on official subdivision and land records may show
these streets, which are legally public rights of way though
usually undriveable. In popular culture there is an
interesting play on the phrase as the main character of
Chuck Palahnuik’s novel, “Fight club” and also it’s movie
adaptation lives in a house on X. What is X?

 In Hindu mythology, X was the daughter of Shukracharya and his
wife Jayanti, who is the daughter of Indra. In her early life, she
was rejected by Kacha, the son of Brihaspati. Thus X cursed him
he will never be able to use his knowledge, in turn Kacha also
cursed X that she would not get married to any devas. She later
married Yayati, son of Nahusha whom she encountered when the
princess Sharmishtha pushed her into a well. X asked Yayati to
marry her as he had clasped her hand while lifting her out of the
well. Yayati and X had two sons, Yadu and Turvasu. X also means
"main goddess" or "mastermind“.

This is a very specific color scheme
of something. What?

 The X is a river in Greek mythology that formed the boundary
between Earth and the Underworld .The rivers
X, Phlegethon, Acheron, and Cocytus all converge at the center
of the underworld on a great marsh, which is also sometimes
called the X. Apparently the gods were bound by X and swore
oaths to it. X had the power to make one invulnerable. The
great warrior Achilles is said to be dipped in the X by his mother
except for his heel which his mother was holding to prevent him
from drowning in the river. Give me the name of the river.

 X is the centerpiece of AT&T Plaza at Millennium Park in
the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois. Constructed
between 2004 and 2006, the sculpture is nicknamed The
Bean because of its bean-like shape. Made up of 168 stainless
steel plates welded together, its highly polished exterior has
no visible seams. The design was inspired by
liquid mercury and the sculpture's surface reflects and
distorts the city's skyline. Visitors are able to walk around and
under X’s 12-foot (3.7 m) high arch. On the underside is the
"omphalos" (Greek for "navel"), a concave chamber that warps
and multiplies reflections. Identify X.

 A X is a structural part of the above-ground anatomy of a number of
species of plants, a diaspore that, once it is mature and
dry, detaches from its root or stem, and is carried away by the
wind. In most such species the X is in effect the entire plant apart
from the root system, but in other plants a hollow fruit or
an inflorescence might serve the function. The X's association with
the Western films has led to a highly symbolic meaning in visual
media. It has come to represent locations that are desolate, dry,
and often humorless, with few or no occupants. A common use is
when characters encounter a long abandoned or dismal-looking
place: a X will be seen rolling past, often accompanied by the sound
of a dry, hollow wind. This is sometimes used, for comic effect, in
locations where Xs are not expected. Identify X.

The Indian National Anthem
 Rabindranath Tagore is the creator of the Indian National Anthem. The
Indian National Anthem is based on the raag Ahilya Bilawal. The 2nd
picture is of Rani Ahilyabai and the 3rd picture is of Bilawal Bhutto.

 X is a pejorative term used to refer to cheap popular serial
literature produced during the nineteenth century. The
term typically referred to a story published in weekly
parts, each costing a particular sum of money from which
it derives it’s name. The subject matter of these stories
was typically sensational, focusing on the exploits of
detectives, criminals, or supernatural entities. What is X?

 The term X appears to have been coined by the feminist
critic Rosalind Coward in her 1984 book Female Desire in
which she writes:
 "Cooking food and presenting it beautifully is an act of
servitude. It is a way of expressing affection through a
gift... That we should aspire to produce perfectly
finished and presented food is a symbol of a willing and
enjoyable participation in servicing others. X exactly
sustains these meanings relating to the preparation of
food. The kinds of picture used always repress the
process of production of a meal. They are always
beautifully lit, often touched up."

 Rugmark renamed Goodweave International. Founded in
1994 by Kailash Satyarthi.

 X was launched in August 2012 by Sean Rad, Justin Mateen, Jonathan
