Put Fundae
The text is derived from Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum (On the Ends of Goods and Evils, or alternatively . The Purposes of Good and Evil ). The original passage began: Neque porro quisquam est qui __________ quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit (Translation: "Neither is there anyone who loves grief itself since it is grief and thus wants to obtain it"). It is not known exactly when the text acquired its current standard form; it may have been as late as the 1960s. The passage was discovered by Richard McClintock, a Latin scholar who is the publications director at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, by searching for citings of the rarely used word 'consectetur' in classical literature.

3) The X were _______ football players of the late 19th Century who moved south to play for clubs participating in the English Football League during the period when football had become professional in England but remained (theoretically) amateur in ________
The origin of the name was based upon the distinctive _______ style of play – described at the time as being “combination football” – which was centred upon a passing game with greater teamwork as opposed to the individualistic, dribbling style common in England at the time. It was this distinctive style of football – which has been described as "changing the nature of soccer" – which had become the hallmark of the __________ game of the era. The ability of the _______ players, their apparently superior technique, and the nature of their play impressed English spectators during the _______ – England international fixtures which had been taking place since 1872 and led to a great number of ______ players moving south to play professionally for English clubs once this became legal in 1885.
This trend was, along with professionalism generally, bitterly opposed by much of the ________ footballing establishment and media. The latter saw the X described as “Traitorous wretches” and “base mercenaries” in the press with the ________ Football Association blacklisting players known to have played professionally. However professionalism was eventually established in _______ football in 1893 although _______’s most powerful club and founders of both the passing and international game, Y, initially refused to participate in the new professional league (not joining until 1900) and remained committed to the amateur principles even after entering into competition with professional clubs. They remain an amateur club to this day.

On the night of June 23, 1993, X arrived at his Manassas, Virginia apartment intoxicated after a night of partying and, according to testimony by his wife Lorena in a 1994 court hearing, raped his wife. Afterwards, Lorena got out of bed and went to the kitchen for a drink of water. According to an article in the National Women's Studies Association Journal, in the kitchen she noticed a carving knife on the counter and "memories of past domestic abuses raced through her head." Grabbing the knife, Lorena entered the bedroom where X was asleep; and she proceeded to cut off more than half of his penis.
After assaulting her husband, Lorena left the apartment, with the severed penis. After driving a short while, she rolled down the car window and threw the penis into a field. Realizing the severity of the incident, she stopped and called 911. After an exhaustive search, the penis was located, packed in ice, and brought to the hospital where John was located.
The incident was chronicled in a jingle-
X was never a loner.
In fact, he was known as a roamer.
His wife seized his prize
And cut it to size.
Now X is his own organ donor.
Lurid incident, What expression did it give rise to? And name X as well.......

She did her B.Com in Mumbai and was modelling simultaneously and later entered the film industry.Rishibala made her debut in the Hindi film Sanam Harjai directed by Saawan Kumar. Jaya Bachchan (ABCL Corp) who saw her in "Superhit Muqabla" on Doordarshan’s Metro channel offered her a leading role.
How do we know her better today?
4) How do we know the 33 year old Lakshmi Narasimha Vijaya Rajagopala Seshadri Sharma Rajesh Raman better?
5) X was formed in 1832 as a result of a dispute among Yale's debating societies, Linonia, Brothers in Unity, and Calliope over the Phi Beta Kappa awards
It was once referred to as The Brotherhood of Death, but a more common alternative name was Eulogia. The only "chapter" of X created outside Yale was a chapter at Wesleyan University in 1870. That chapter, became independent in 1872 in a dispute over control over creating additional chapters; the Beta Chapter reconstituted itself as Theta Nu Epsilon.[8]
The emblem of X is over the number "322". Some have speculated that 322 stands for "founded in '32, 2nd corps", referring to a first Corps in some unknown German university which has never been found. Others suggest that 322 refers to the era of Demosthenes and that documents in the society hall have purportedly been found dated to "Anno-Demostheni"
Members meet in the "tomb" on Thursday and Sunday evenings of each week over the course of their senior year. As with other Yale societies, the sharing of a personal history is the keystone of the senior year together in the "tomb".
Members are assigned a nickname. “Long Devil is assigned to the tallest member; Boaz goes to any member who is a varsity football captain. Many of the chosen names are drawn from literature (Hamlet, Uncle Remus), from religion, and from myth. The banker Lewis Lapham passed on his name, Sancho Panza, to the political adviser Tex McCrary. Averell Harriman was Thor, Henry Luce was Baal, McGeorge Bundy was Odin.” George H. W. Bush was Magog, a name reserved for a member considered to have the most sexual experience. George W. Bush, unable to decide, was temporarily called Temporary, and the name was never changed

Epic gives another explanation, that the name came from a dead king (Videha, one devoid of body or dead) whose sons were created by sages who performed magical rites upon the kings dead-body. Mithila was the capital of Videha kingdom. The Princess, thus born to Janaka was also named due to the name of the place.

arbit.. but well.. who cares..
X, who died this week (and therefore in a sense became Ex ), said in his last interview that he thought cricket was better than sex.
“I tend to think that cricket is the greatest thing that god created on earth - certainly greater than sex, although sex isn't too bad either,” he said in the interview, published by London's Guardian newspaper this weekend.
Cricket was the subject of the interview, given to the Guardian in October amid failing health.
What attracted X to cricket was the game's inherent drama - the game within the game.
“Drama happens in big cricket matches. But also in small cricket matches.
“When we play, my club, each thing that happens is dramatic: the gasps that follow a miss at slip, the anger of an lbw decision that is turned down. It is the same thing wherever you play, really.”
X was captain of a wandering cricket club from London called the Gaieties and had played the game from childhood.
His house was full of cricket memorabilia, including a framed copy of WG Grace's autograph.
X, a lifelong admirer of great England batsman Len Hutton, said: “cricket, the whole thing, playing, watching, being part of the Gaieties, has been a central feature of my life

Later, he worked at Pathe, rising to become a member of the board of directors before leaving in 1921 to become an independent producer. He was hired by Fox in 1924, and then MGM in 1927 to head its short features department. In 1937 he was assigned to put together its animation department. But unfortunately for a cartoon producer, [he had] no sense of humor to call upon... He knew nothing of animation and cartoons were a strange thing to him. Cast in the role of high school principal opposite the animators' boyish enthusiasms, he acted as liaisons between them and the front office, usually it seemed, turning down requests for bigger budgets, raises and special dispensations of funds.

3.The most famous of Listerine mouthwash ads concerned the “pathetic” case of “Edna”. She was approaching the tragic” thirtieth birthday unmarried because she suffered from halitosis – “a disorder you, yourself, rarely know when you have it. And even your closest friends won’t tell you. The ad thereby introduced one of the popular phrases used today in English. What?
4. Which is the brightest man made place from space?
5. In ancient Rome, if a man had to testify in court, what was he required to swear on?
6. Joshua L. Cowen's creation was the development of little metal tubes that were designed to illuminate flowers in their pots.
These illuminated flower pots were difficult to perfect (if he could have gotten them to dance to music, he would have earned a fortune). Cowen became bored with his flower pot lights and in 1898 gave the project away to one of his salesmen - some guy named Conrad Hubert. Hubert could care less about the lighted flower pots. Instead, he liked the device Cowen developed to operate them - a lightbulb and dry cell battery combination that had a 30 day life.
Hubert took Cowen's battery operated device and developed it into the flashlight. The company that Cowen gave away was named the American Eveready Company, and it earned Hubert nearly six million dollars in two decades (a large sum of money for the turn of the century). When Hubert died, he left behind a $15,000,000 estate, virtually all earned from Cowen's invention.
One would think that Cowen would feel like a real loser for giving an idea like Eveready batteries away for nothing, but he actually came up with a better idea that earned him even more money. What?

8. Originally from Karkala, Karnataka, he lost his parents at the age of two. At the age of twelve, he came to Mumbai, where he studied in Orient School, Mahim. He studied chemistry, physics and chemical technology and was a dual degree holder from the University of Bombay (now Mumbai). Endowed with a passion for publishing and comics, his failed attempt at creating a children's magazine (Manav, 1954) was followed by a career as a junior executive in the Times of India books division, putting him in the thick of affairs when Indrajal comics was launched by the Times Group. Indrajal featured reprints of popular American strip characters such as the the Phantom, Mandrake the Magician, and later, indigenous characters like Bahadur and Dara.The idea behind starting his comic book series came to him from a quiz contest aired on Doordarshan in February 1967, in which participants could easily answer questions pertaining to Greek mythology, but were unable to reply to the question "In the Ramayana, who was Rama's mother?".
9.He received his powers from seven gurus who trained and blessed him with "yogic shakti". He was the chosen warrior against evil by the siddha gurus of a cult named Suryanshi. They are the followers of Sun.As a part of his training he was trained with Kundalini Yoga to awaken the 7 chakras of body and gain super power from them. But it was not easy. To gain complete control over his powers he had to perform a ritual of death. He was to perform a Yajna in which he entered the fire himself and dissolved his body in the fire. Then the Five Elements of life i.e. Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Sky revived his body giving special powers from them. Thus after leaving his mortal body he was given a super human form to fight against the evil in the world. Who?
10. Frist Campus Center is a focal point of social life at Princeton University. It is a combination of the former Palmer Physics Lab, and a modern addition completed in 2001.

Instead, he liked the device Cowen developed to operate them - a lightbulb and dry cell battery combination that had a 30 day life.
Hubert took Cowen's battery operated device and developed it into the flashlight. The company that Cowen gave away was named the American Eveready Company, and it earned Hubert nearly six million dollars in two decades (a large sum of money for the turn of the century). When Hubert died, he left behind a $15,000,000 estate, virtually all earned from Cowen's invention.
One would think that Cowen would feel like a real loser for giving an idea like Eveready batteries away for nothing, but he actually came up with a better idea that earned him even more money. What?

8. Originally from Karkala, Karnataka, he lost his parents at the age of two. At the age of twelve, he came to Mumbai, where he studied in Orient School, Mahim. He studied chemistry, physics and chemical technology and was a dual degree holder from the University of Bombay (now Mumbai). Endowed with a passion for publishing and comics, his failed attempt at creating a children's magazine (Manav, 1954) was followed by a career as a junior executive in the Times of India books division, putting him in the thick of affairs when Indrajal comics was launched by the Times Group. Indrajal featured reprints of popular American strip characters such as the the Phantom, Mandrake the Magician, and later, indigenous characters like Bahadur and Dara.The idea behind starting his comic book series came to him from a quiz contest aired on Doordarshan in February 1967, in which participants could easily answer questions pertaining to Greek mythology, but were unable to reply to the question "In the Ramayana, who was Rama's mother?".
9.He received his powers from seven gurus who trained and blessed him with "yogic shakti". He was the chosen warrior against evil by the siddha gurus of a cult named Suryanshi. They are the followers of Sun.As a part of his training he was trained with Kundalini Yoga to awaken the 7 chakras of body and gain super power from them. But it was not easy. To gain complete control over his powers he had to perform a ritual of death. He was to perform a Yajna in which he entered the fire himself and dissolved his body in the fire. Then the Five Elements of life i.e. Fire, Wind, Water, Earth, Sky revived his body giving special powers from them. Thus after leaving his mortal body he was given a super human form to fight against the evil in the world. Who?

A X is a neurosurgical procedure, a form of psychosurgery, also known as a leukotomy or leucotomy (from Greek leukos: clear or white and tomos meaning "cut/slice"). It consists of cutting the connections to and from the prefrontal cortex. In some cases an instrument which was essentially an ice-pick—and sometimes an actual kitchen ice-pick was used with a carpenter's hammer- simply passed through the eye-socket and struck with a hammer when in the right position. These procedures result in major personality changes beyond what is desired, and can cause severe mental disabilities. Xs were used mainly in the 1930s to 1950s to treat a wide range of severe mental illnesses, including schizophrenia, clinical depression, and various anxiety disorders, as well as people who were considered a nuisance by demonstrating behavior characterized as, for example, "moodiness" or "youthful defiance". The patient's informed consent in the modern sense was not obtained. After the introduction of the antipsychotic Chlorpromazine (Thorazine), Xs fell out of common use[ and the procedure has since been characterized "as one of the most barbaric mistakes ever perpetrated by mainstream medicine".

All in the spirit. And cos there's no question on Christmas day !!
X-Y is a winter festival that was initially celebrated by the historical Germanic peoples as a pagan religious festival, though it was later absorbed into, and equated with, the Christian festival of Christmas. The festival was originally celebrated from late December to early January on a date determined by the lunar Germanic calendar. The festival was placed on December 25(/24) when the Christian (Julian) calendar was adopted. Some historians claim that the celebration is connected to the Wild Hunt or was influenced by Saturnalia, the Roman winter festival. The term "X" is still used in the Nordic Countries and to a lesser extent in English speaking countries to refer to Christmas. Customs such as the X log, X goat, X boar, X singing, and others stem from X. In modern times, X is observed as a cultural festival and also with religious rites by some Christians and by some Neopagans.

X created Y in 1939 as an assignment for the retailing company. The retailer had been buying and giving away coloring books every year and it was decided that creating their own book would save money. 2.4 million copies of Y were distributed by the company in its first year. Because X had created Y as an employee, he did not own the license.
In a BBC animation, Y is never mentioned by name and references are replaced by a character interrupting with the phrase "Dont say that name!" or something similar, preumably for copyright reasons.

X is regarded as one of the best footballers of all time and a legend in his club Y ,voted amongst the best ever to have played for Y. X remains the only one from his nation to be inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame. To honor da man, when Y moved into a new stadium the first match they played was labelled as his tribute match and therefore the opponents were X's former club Z. ___ Card. Fill in the blank to get the question. Getting the answer is optional. (For extra points , choose the correct option. Mudd may/should/need/can/will not answer. )
In full swing at the end of the 20th century, Xs have been described positively as "ultimate post-modern pop song[s]" or "'culture jamming in its purest form'" and "display an analytical impulse...we actually hear how these songs resonate with one another, comment upon and affect one another...in a way, the music speaks for itself". They have also been described negatively as "the logical extension of the sampling fever of the '80s taken to its dumbest extreme". Due to the questionable legal status of Xs and little chance of profits "there's a real punk rock attitude attached to the movement".
Also, "The most interesting and entertaining phenomenon of the MP3 libraries on peer-to-peer systems is the availability of Xs - new compositions created by combining the rhythm tracks of one song and the vocal tracks of another. It is merely the latest incarnation of a widely shared, deeply embedded cultural habit of cultural recombination across time and space."
X is also known by the following names
* Bootlegs (mostly in Europe)
* Boots (but not Booty which is a branch of Electro)
* Y (as in the combined songs are unofficial)
* Blends
* Cutups (or cut ups, a term originally coined by William S. Burroughs to describe some of his literary experiments that involved literally "cutting up" different texts and rearranging the pieces to create a new piece.)
* Powermixing (Usually the pace has to be sped up to allow for more song to be played and thus cannot play any single blend for the full length of the song)
