16. • He created his most famous work in 1917, a poster to
encourage recruitment in the United States Army during
World War I. It showed Uncle Sam pointing at the viewer
(inspired by a British recruitment poster showing Lord
Kitchener in a similar pose) with the caption "I Want YOU
for U.S. Army".[3] Over four million copies of the poster
were printed during World War I, and it was revived for
World War II. Flagg used his own face for that of Uncle
Sam (adding age and the white goatee), he said later,
simply to avoid the trouble of arranging for a model.
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt praised his
resourcefulness for using his own face as the model. By
some accounts though, Flagg had a neighbor, Walter
Botts, pose for the piece.

21. • The prefix of the word “X” comes from believe
that the phases of the Y could induce insanity or
epilepsy in certain individuals. Both Aristotle and
Roman historian Pliny the Elder taught that the
moistness of the brain made it susceptible to
changes based on the position of the Y.This
belief endured up through the Middle Ages and
is likely the reason why werewolves and other
fictional creatures were thought to emerge
during certain phases of Y. “X” even appeared in
several official US federal laws until 2012, when
Congress agreed to replace it with more modern
and scientifically accurate terminology.
27. • X is from Moradabad, where his father Rajinder ran a brassware export
business. His mother Maureen taught at a playschool in Delhi. X studied at

Sky Light Realty, North India IT Parks, Real Earth Estates and Blue Breeze
Trading. All of them were registered between November 2007 and June
2008 with a paid-up share capital between Rs.5 lakh and Rs.25 lakh.

A fitness fanatic, he flaunts his body in body-hugging designer clothes. He is

Hyderabad. Zips around in high-end bikes.
30. • As the story goes, the ancestors of X’s Hindu population
lived beside the vast lake where a demon known as
Jalodbhava terrorized them. Since Jalodbhava was
invincible while in the water, they could not hope to
defeat him until the arrival of the ancient sage Kashyap.
The sage beseeched Vishnu who pierced the side of a
mountain, creating a deep gorge which completely
drained the lake. Jalodbhava, now on dry land, lost his
invincibility and was annihilated by the gods. Thus, the
new area became known as what could be roughly
translated as “the abode of Kashyap"

36. • The year was 1975 . The “bad man” of

42. • I’m sure the English language media will have a field-day thinking of
puns for headlines. I’ll get the ball rolling with my own suggestions
for X puns. We can play X pun bingo by crossing them off as the
media uses them:
• X's all that
• That’s what X said
• X doesn’t know who I am (and X doesn’t give a damn about me)
• Murder, X wrote
• X's way out of my league
• He said, X said
• X loves me, X loves me not
• X loves me, yeah, yeah, yeah

• “Angela Merkel met with X last Thursday. She said that the talks
45. • X was originally conceived as an enemy of international terrorism.
Interestingly, in his debut issue, X was unleashed as an international
terror weapon by an evil scientist . X, in this first mission, was
tasked with stealing a golden statue of a Goddess from a temple
that was protected by tribal devotees, and by a mysterious 300 -year
old Sadhu named Baba Gorakhnath. X succeeded in his task, but
upon confrontation with Gorakhnath and his mystic Black Mongoose
shikangi, was defeated. Gorakhnath read his mind and discovered
that the evil scientist had implanted a mind control device in the form
of a capsule in X's head, to keep him under his control. Gorakhnath
operated and removed the capsule from X's head, setting X free of
the scientist's control. X then became Baba Goraknath's disciple
and vowed to eliminate crime and terror from the Earth. Since then,
X has thrice toured the world and defeated many villains and
terrorists.

for Y.”
