Q15

Feminist women love Eminem
The Bechdel test was created by Alison Bechdel as a means of putting
numbers to sexist trends in movies. Almost half of all movies fail the
Bechdel test. Movies such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Avatar, and the
Social Network all fail the Bechdel test. It‘s important to realize that the test
does not necessarily say that a movie is or isn‘t sexist based on whether it
passes or fails the test. Rather it‘s meant to be a way of analyzing movies
in broader terms related to feminist themes. What is the Bechdel Test?

X first came up with the idea for his novel Y in 1962, when researching 'The Man in the
High Castle' which deals with the Nazis conquering the planet in the 1940s. X had been
granted access to archived World War II Gestapo documents in the University of
California at Berkley, and had come across diaries written by S.S. men stationed in
Poland, which he found almost unreadable in their casual cruelty and lack of human
empathy. One sentence in particular troubled him: "We are kept awake at night by the
cries of starving children." X was so horrified by this sentence that he reasoned there
was obviously something wrong with the man who wrote it. This led him to hypothesize
that Nazism in general was a defective group mind, a mind so emotionally flawed that
the word human could not be applied to them; their lack of empathy was so pronounced
that X reasoned they couldn't be referred to as human beings, even though their outward
appearance seemed to indicate that they were human. The novel sprang from this.

Deja Vu??

X had planned several documentaries about with people in their setting in
focus, like musicians of Rajasthan, dancers in Ellora, but eventually
ended up making only one.
The opening sequence of this 1971 documentary is an evocation of
atmosphere - beginning with a shot of a parallel ropeway with two
carriages advancing towards each other, which prompted X to note,
"While they're reaching this point, I cut to a shot of a piece of telegraph
wire. It's raining and there are two drops of rain approaching on a
downward curve. It's a very poetic seven minutes. And the end is also
very lively, very optimistic, with children, happy, laughing, smoking,

The village is hidden in a grove of cocoa-palms at the head of a

An article on Cracked.com states that the new release of this film is simply a
higher budget remake of the older, crappy film. It has 4 broad points to make:
●The plot points are ridiculous
●The cast is amazing (and completely misrepresented)
●The military is hilariously reckless
●It might actually do worse at the box office.

Meet my Roman friend, Biggus Dickus.
A controversy arose regarding the artwork for the cover for
the Classics VHS cassette of X when the film was first
released on video when close examination of the artwork
revealed an oddly shaped structure on the castle, closely
resembling a penis. The cover designer insists it was an
accident, resulting from a late night rush job to finish the
cover artwork. The questionable object does not appear on
the cover of the second releasing of the movie.
A second allegation is that a clergyman is seen with an
erection during a scene late in the film.The clergyman is a
short man, dressed in Bishop's clothing, and a small bulge
is slightly noticeable in a few of the frames.

princess who preferred studying insects rather than wearing fine clothes or
choosing a husband.

In the 1920s, Stanford psychology professor Lewis Terman thought he had
found a way to predict what would happen in people’s lives. His “method”
was a modification of an existing system. Using it, he narrowed a large
group of children down to a handful, and predicted they would achieve
success in life. He tracked them for years to prove his hypothesis. After
decades, however, only a tiny percentage of Terman’s “children” excelled.
Many were complete failures, and there were no Nobel winners.
Ironically, two kids who had not made it into the elite group went on to
become Nobel laureates - William Shockley and Luis Alvarez.

The origin of the X Awards can be traced back to posts on Usenet group

pulled a vending machine over their head and was crushed to death trying to

JATO Rocket Car, which describes a man who strapped a JATO (Jet-Assisted
Take-Off) unit to his Chevrolet Impala in the Arizona desert and who died
gloriously on the side of a cliff as his car achieved speeds of 250 to 300 miles per
hour. This story was later confirmed to be an urban legend by the Arizona
Department of Public Safety. The official X Awards website run by Northcutt does
its best to confirm all stories submitted, listing them as, "confirmed true by X."

The origin of this particular “ritual” is much disputed. American fans claim they started this in the late

attributes his discovery as an accident caused by a slight mistake of timing made by a section of the
fans. George would later come to perfect this marvellous effect created. The name that we know this
by is slightly confusing considering the origin. But probably stems from the fact that the rest of the

Which artists take on the hazards of
bullfighting aptly titled “La Muerte Del
Picador” ?

Watch this space.
Being an icon in his sport, X’s leather have a WLF
emblazoned on them for Viva La Figa or Long
Live Pussy. X is even an Inter Milan fan.
Identify this sportsman whose iconic nickname
comes from the clinical manner in which he
dismantles his opponents.

Well this is clearly a difficult task, I mean after a while the wit
you seek just eludes you.
“A tradition used strictly in baseball, a player is usually ______ after a walk off hit. ______ is usually
deployed while the player is giving an on-field post game press conference. That way the player is
concentrating on something else, can't really run away because they've got equipment hooked up to
them and look like a fool on national TV, it's the optimal time.”
Bleacher Report’s description of a Baseball thing really. What is deployed while the player is in a
press conference after a walk off hit.

French ? I speak it.
X’s official website reads.
“Whatever your label for me, I'm _______ and this is my site.
This is my place to share what I think and hear what you think back. I want to shine a light on some of
the things that matter most to me and open up a bit of debate. You never know, together we might
even help change something.
If you're a troll with no purpose or value beyond casual 4-letter abuse, join a few bedfellows on Twitter,
it's easier for you there - go knock yourself out.”
X even describes himself as “a ____, Ex-Con, Ranting Anti-Celebrity, Philosopher, Loving Dad and
Violent Thug all rolled into one.”
Simple I guess.

Mrs. Smith could be a handful.
Headquartered very surprisingly at Metbaut Avenue, Baku, Azerbaijan, this organisation is the
governing body of this sport. Unders it’s ambit come typical organisations like Body and Soul
Institute that one expects in this sport. However it seems that until now the organisation has not
found a suitable candidate to hold the 2014 World Championship of this sport. What
sport/organisation ?

Have A Cigar.
On 23 February 1958, two un masked gunmen of Fidel Castro's 26th of July Movement entered the
Hotel Lincoln in Havana and kidnapped X, a proponent in his sport at gunpoint. This was after X had
exhibited trademark dominance in the 1957 event held in Havana. Later Alberto Lecchi would make
Operacion X reflecting on X’s rescue mission from the Cubans.

No Scrooges this city, new bike and all.
Coming fresh from her 4 Gold medal haul at the 1948 London Games, X was hailed as a Dutch Hero.
Coached by the legendary Maureen Gardner who would later on equal one of X’s records, X was
Knighted by Queen Julienne of Netherlands. Surprisingly from the city of Amsterdam, X received a new
bicycle: "to go through life at a slower pace" and "so she need not run so much".
