12. The Laki volcanic fissure in southern Iceland erupted over an eight-month
period from 8 June 1783 to February 1784, spewing lava and poisonous
gases that devastated the island's agriculture, killing much of the livestock.
It is estimated that perhaps a quarter of Iceland's population died through
the ensuing famine. Then, as now, there were more wide-ranging impacts.
The eruption is now thought to have disrupted the Asian monsoon cycle,
prompting famine in Egypt. Environmental historians have also pointed to
the disruption caused to the economies of northern Europe, where food
poverty was a major factor in the build-up to something that changed the
history of the world forever.

15. X-Y is a common joke in Russian political discourse, referring to

I succeeded his late brother Alexander as the Russian Emperor.
Nicholas I's son Alexander II formed the first "X–Y" pair of the
sequence with his father.
The patten can be seen currently in Vladimir Putin and Dmitry
Medvedev (his predecessor).
