He said “If anyone knows a bit about history and fashion, you know it was _______ who made uniforms for the Nazis. But they looked f**king fantastic, let's face it, while they were killing people on the basis of their religion and sexuality."Who's X? and the blank.

Using a simplistic model of n2=n1+ 3*n1 , this should take about 35 days to complete.Suppose you include the probability of people who have already done this and assume they won't do it again, a metric to consider would be P(new) = 1- ( P_ibc / P_population)Even this model gives about 29 days to finish for the entire population.You can build your own growth/decay/exponential functions and come up with a better number.What is being modelled thus?

TIME just ( 1 week back) published a chart showcasing 101 of Robin Williams’ defining roles tracing the evolution of his career. What, rather atrocious, pun did they use for the title of the chart which might have been slightly more appropriate if they had showcased 31 roles?

It was named “ Bask In Robbins” and hence the 31 flavours of Baskin Robbins

When he was in 3rd grade (8 years old), he contracted Rheumatic fever, a disease of the nervous system that causes involuntary movements (tics). The disease also lead to blotchy skin and this caused him to be a sort of hypochondriac, as a kid. It also led him to develop a fear of hospitals and medical doctors. During this period, and most of his life, he regularly consumed something manufactured by a certain company 'for lunch' which has become synonymous with him. Who and what am I referring to?

Subhash Chandra Bose alias

Central to X are nine scenes from the Book of Genesis of which The Creation of Adam is the best known, having an iconic standing equalled only by Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. The complex design includes several sets of individual figures, both clothed and nude, which allowed Y to fully demonstrate his skill in creating a huge variety of poses for the human figure, and have provided an enormously influential pattern book of models for other artists ever since. Y wrote a poem about the conditions under which he worked :

I've grown a goitre by dwelling in this den– As cats from stagnant streams in Lombardy, Or in what other land they hap to be– Which drives the belly close beneath the chin: My beard turns up to heaven; my nape falls in, Fixed on my spine: my breast-bone visibly Grows like a harp: a rich embroidery Bedews my face from brush-drops thick and thin. My loins into my paunch like levers grind: My

buttock like a crupper bears my weight; My feet unguided wander to and fro; In front my skin grows loose and long; behind, By bending it becomes more taut and strait; Crosswise I strain me like a Syrian bow: Whence false and quaint, I know, Must be the fruit of squinting brain and eye; For ill can aim the gun that bends awry. Come then, Giovanni, try To

succour my dead pictures and my fame; Since foul I fare and painting is my shame.a bit long, but simple enough

The X was predicted in a 1988 paper published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States. The prediction was based on results obtained by several Alaska-based researchers between 1985 and 1988. It occupies a large and relatively stationary region of the North Pacific Ocean bound by the North Pacific Gyre (a remote area commonly referred to as the horse latitudes). It is impossible to detect by aircraft or satellite, because the components are submerged. The size of X is determined by sampling. Estimates of size range from 700,000 square kilometres (270,000 sq mi) to more than 15,000,000 square kilometres (5,800,000 sq mi) (0.41% to 8.1% of the size of the Pacific Ocean), or, in some media reports, up to "twice the size of the continental United States".

X is a fictional character created by writer Robert Bloch as the main character in his novel Y, and portrayed by Anthony Perkins as the primary antagonist of the 1960 film of the same name directed by Z and its sequels. The character was inspired by murderer Ed Gein. X, Y and Z?

X's performance style has been studied in the academic field as an analysis concerning gender, image and sexuality. It has been written for example that his performance style "opened up definitions of gendered masculinity and so laid the foundations for self-invention and sexual plasticity which are now an integral part of contemporary youth culture". X's voice has been described as a powerful expressive tool for communicating feelings to his audience and expressing an alternative vision of society. To express "virility and unrestrained passion" he developed techniques previously used by African American preachers and gospel singers such as "the roar, the guttural belt style of singing, and the buzz, a more nasal and raspy sound". According to British dramatist and novelist Philip Norman, even Elvis Presley at his most scandalous had not exerted a "power so wholly and disturbingly physical“ : "Presley, while he made girls scream, did not have X's ability to make men feel uncomfortable." Norman also associates the early performances of X with the Y in the 1960s as a male ballet dancer, with "his conflicting and colliding sexuality: the swan's neck and smeared harlot eyes allied to an overstuffed and straining codpiece.“

X is widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. He is considered a member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, Y (his most famous), and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon, was published posthumously. X also wrote many short stories that treat themes of youth and promise along with age and despair. X's work has been adapted into films many times. His short story, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", was the basis for the 2008 film of the same name. Tender Is the Night was filmed in 1962, and made into a television miniseries in 1985. The Beautiful and Damned was filmed in 1922 and 2010. Y was made into a movie no less than five times, the most recent being in 2013. Id X and Y.

The circle topped with a two bar cross in which the word X resides is a variant of the Y logo, and is either "an early European symbol for quality" or a Cross of Lorraine, as carried by the Knights Templar into the Crusades. The X's a dot with four radiating outward either resembles a four-leaf clover or the cross pattee, also associated with the Knights Templar, as well as with the German Military and today's Freemasons.
