feet as eye of an animal and shot an arrow. When he
came and saw X, he was shocked and asked for
forgiveness.
X smiled and said, “you need not repent, because you
were Y in your last birth and I, as Z had killed you from
behind a tree. I had to leave this body and was waiting
for you, so that the karmic debt between you and me is

Comparing X and Y is like comparing Batman and
Superman, the former was the hero the nation needed
and the latter was the one it wanted.
Everyone worships Superman but you cannot become a
Superman and that’s the case with Y, you can only
worship him and cannot be him. But with X, he stood
there and showed that through hard work and dedication
you can be a soldier with a sheer bloody-minded refusal
of admitting defeat. He stood for the symbol which
Batman fans term as “Batman can be anyone.”

Famous for her killer instinct and business-like approach,
at times X displayed a sense of humour. During a tight
1995 Wimbledon match against Kimiko Date, she was
serving when a man yelled out her name. Everyone,

serve when the man shouted “X! Will you marry me?" The
fans burst into peals of laughter, and play was delayed for
a couple of minutes. X readied to serve, tossed the ball,
caught it, turned, and yelled to the man "How much
money do you have?"
X lost the set, but won the match.

• Where is my Gnome? was a series of viral marketing ads used
by Travelocity in early 2004 created by the creative agency
McKinney.
• The ads consisted of a man named "Bill" looking for his garden
gnome. On January 3, the Boston Herald and the Boston Globe

mascot of Travelocity.

escapades dates back to the "traveling gnome prank" that

• A landlocked country surrounded only by other landlocked countries
may be called a "doubly landlocked" country. A person in such a

• There are only two such countries in the world. X and Uzbekistan.
• There were no doubly landlocked countries in the world from the
Unification of Germany in 1871 until the end of World War I. This is
because Uzbekistan was part of the Russian Empire, and thus part of
a country that was not landlocked; while X bordered AustriaHungary, a country which had an Adriatic coast until it was dissolved
in 1918. Upon the dissolution of Austria-Hungary X became a doubly
landlocked country. There were again no doubly landlocked
countries from 1938 until the end of World War II, as Nazi Germany
had incorporated Austria, which meant that X bordered a country
with a coast. After World War II Austria regained its independence
and X became doubly landlocked once more.

• On 31 January 1950, the PPS to the then Prime Minister of India sent a
letter to the X Deputation on behalf of the then Prime Minister, which
reads as under:
• "With reference to the deputation of certain representatives of the X, who
met the Prime Minister on the 25 January 1950, I am desired to say that
there is no cause whatever for the Xs to have any apprehensions regarding
the future of their religion and community….It is clear therefore, there is no
reason for thinking that X are considered to be Hindus. It is true that Xs in
some ways closely linked to Hindus and have many customs in common,
but there can be no doubt that they are a distinct religious community and
constitution does not in any way affect this well recognized position.”
• Dr. S Radhakrishnan writes,
• “The Xs claim a great antiquity for their religion. Their earliest prophet was
Rishabhdeva. Who is mentioned even in the Vishnu and Bhagawat Puranas
as belonging to a very remote past. In the earliest Brahmanic literature are

• "I decided I didn't want the film to carry a slogan and
scream, but just to create a story where people can laugh
and cry a little.”
• The director had to often work from the back of a van and
could therefore only communicate via a walkie-talkie and
watch the actors on a monitor. "It made me realise the
need to rehearse and to develop an understanding for
each scene before we shot it.“

Director: “It’s not about trying to figure out what is accurate and
what is not. I mean, there’s no sound in space, for instance, but
we use music to convey the story.”
Interviewer: “There was also a loud explosion in the trailer.”
Director: “Yes, but that’s just the trailer. I honour silence. The only
sound you hear in space in the film is if, say, one of the characters
is using a drill. X’s character would hear the drill through the
vibrations through her hand. But vibration itself doesn’t transmit
in space—you can only hear what our characters are interacting
with. I thought about keeping everything in absolute silence. And
then I realized I was just going to annoy the audience.”

Reuben Mattus invented the "Danish-sounding" name X as a
tribute to Denmark's exemplary treatment of its Jews during
the Second World War, and included an outline map of
Denmark on early labels. The name, however, is not Danish, as
Danish does not have the umlaut.
Mattus felt that Denmark had a positive image in the U.S. and
produced good quality dairy products.
His daughter Doris Hurley reported in a documentary that her
father sat at the kitchen table for hours saying nonsensical
words until he came up with a combination he liked. The
reason he chose this method was so that the name would be
unique and original.

Ozil’s unprofessionalism and said he was behind girls. Many have drawn
parallels to a similar situation that occurred in 2004 when this player was
transferred from Real Madrid in 2004 and Perez commented:
• “We will not miss X. His technique is average, he lacks the speed and skill to
take the ball past opponents, and ninety percent of his distribution either goes
backwards or sideways. He wasn't a header of the ball and he rarely passed the
ball more than three metres. Younger players will arrive who will cause X to be
