26/11 !
Posted by Jug at 8:24 PMOn November 26, 2008, as the Mumbai attacks began, a group of attackers entered the Chabad house and began shooting at everyone inside. X heard gunshots and locked herself in a laundry room but soon emerged from the room and ran upstairs hearing Rivka scream, there she found Gavriel and Rivka motionless and covered in blood with Moshe crying beside them, his pants drenched in blood. With the attackers still inside, X grabbed Moshe and ran from the building. Later, when Indian commandos stormed the house, it was confirmed that Gavriel and Rivka were among the 173 people killed in the attacks, and that Moshe was now an orphan.
The Chabad movement's leaders decided Moshe could not stay in India and that he would be relocated to Israel where he has family. However, the movement insisted that X be allowed to go with him, as X was the only one, the boy was responding to. Although X had no passport or papers, Moshe's grand uncle, Rabbi Yitzchak Dovid Grossman, helped arrange for her to get a visa to come to Israel with Holtzberg to help him start his new life. The Israeli government under Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni granted X a special visa offering immigration status.
X was awarded permanent resident status and honorary Israeli citizenship on 13 September 2010.
Israel is considering conferring on her the title "Righteous among the Nations", the highest Israeli award that may be presented to non-Jews. X would be the first Indian to receive this award.

Posted by konvict at 1:01 PMThe use of X to make a candy dates back to ancient Egypt, where the recipe called for extracting sap from the plant and mixing it with nuts and honey. Another pre-modern recipe uses the pith of the X plant, rather than the sap. The stem was peeled back to reveal the soft and spongy pith, which was boiled in sugar syrup and dried to produce a soft, chewy confection.Candymakers in early 19th century France made the innovation of whipping up the X sap and sweetening it, to make a confection similar to modern X.
not a penny more, all the pennies less
Posted by The Gremlin at 6:25 PMSoon, this word came to be associated with a phrase for not paying one's taxes, the phrase being X.
Early occurrences of the phrase, in print, include John Mitchell Kemble's Codex Diplomaticus, John Mapley's Green Forest and Robert Greene's Pandosto.
Now, X is used to mean the act of getting away with something wrong, without punishment.

ID W,X,Y and Z
Posted by konvict at 8:30 PMAlthough W's home was very humble, her father was a man with a unique vision. A trained psychologist, Z, had made a deep study of the childhood origins of genius. The archetypal example was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Already composing at the age of five, he seemed to be the classic case of a child born with special gifts, but Z noted that Mozart's father Leopold, himself an accomplished musician, gave his son early and invaluable schooling in his craft.
Z decided that specialised training was more important than natural talent and he had an astonishing plan that would put his theory to the test.
When W was born in April of 1969, the family experiment was underway.
Z planned to train W in mathematics but, she chose her own future by a happy accident. One day while searching for a new toy, she happened across a ________. Z himself was convinced he could train his daughter to be a genius at anything, as long as she was a willing student.

Posted by Jug at 6:58 PM“ That was something I did in a hurry, because I had to get to a meeting with the producers in twenty minutes. I just happened to have little white, price tag stickers and I thought I'd use them as gun shots across the screen. We'd have X walk through and fire, at which point blood comes down onscreen. That was about a twenty-minute storyboard I did, and they said, "This looks great!"
It has also been observed that the sequence recalls the gun fired at the audience at the end of The Great Train Robbery (1903).

Posted by Jug at 6:54 PMThe Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy, also known as the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy, is a series of films created by X and Edgar Wright, and starring X and Nick Frost in leading roles. The first two films in the series are Y, a zombie comedy with romantic comedy elements, and Z, a buddy cop action/comedy film. A third film, provisionally titled The World's End, is slated for the future.
Each film is connected to a Cornetto ice cream flavour - both of the films released to date feature scenes in which one of the main characters purchases a Cornetto of the appropriate flavour. Y features a (red) strawberry Cornetto, Z includes a (blue) Classico flavour, and The World's End is due to feature a green mint choc chip ice-cream. The use of the three colours of Cornetto is a reference to Krzysztof Kieslowski's Three Colours film trilogy.

And it's fifty degrees below zero

When you're thousands of miles from nowhere
And there's nothing below but the drink
It's then you will see the X

...................
Some people attribute the origin of this word to the Old English term ______ (to vex) or the Irish-Gaelic word _____ (ill-humoured ______).
This word was an indigenous slang to the Royal Air Force, until author Roald Dahl popularized the idea in his novel "The X" (1943). Roald Dahl was so interested by the idea, that he gave specific names to the genders: widgets (male) & fifinellas (female), and sent a finshed manuscript to Walt Disney.
X also has its own share of TV apperances; in: Merrie Melodies (with Bugs Bunny), Nightmare at 20,000 feet, The Simpsons (Terror at 5 1/2 feet) etc. All subsequent appearances paralleled X's role in Nightmare at 20,000 feet.
