“It is wonderful, the power of a faith like that, that can make multitudes
upon multitudes of the old and weak and the young and frail enter without
hesitation or complaint upon such incredible journeys and endure the
resultant miseries without repining. It is done in love, or it is done in fear; I
do not know which it is. No matter what the impulse is, the act born of it is
beyond imagination, marvellous to our kind of people, the cold whites.” - X

X—was tightly secured with padlocks, stood more than two feet tall, and operated
like an organ. Only immediate members of the family knew what the inside
actually looked like (at one time, the X was called "the most sought after but well-
concealed box in the world").

As a child, X never knew who his father was. He reasoned that he never missed
having a father as he never had anything to miss, and it allowed him to imagine
that his father could be anyone he wished. He was looked after by a nanny who
spent most of her time watching daytime television. ‘One Life to Live’ was the
inspiration to write his first novel. He was further inspired to become a writer when
a man handed him a copy of Ian Fleming’s ‘Casino Royale’ at the New York Public
Library when he was ten years old. He also claims to have been kicked out of all
of New York’s finer academic institutions at least once,and to have picked up
speed reading while spending his days as a child in the New York Public Library.

IMDB Description
This is 75 minutes and 6 seconds of pure blue screen. Nothing less and nothing
more. Abstract film by Nigel Tomm demolishes the boundaries of new absurdism.
In 1951, a novel X was published. In 2008, a film X directed by Nigel Tomm was
filmed. Intelligent. Eccentric and subversive. X by Nigel Tomm preserves and
destroys, it lifts and anchors, it aids and hinders, it's convenient and frustrating. It
has two sides. The most extravagant depths of your wildest imagination are
packed in 75 minutes and 6 seconds of pure blue screen. Breathtaking.
Give X.

26. 9. William Chester Minor (June 1834 – March 26, 1920) was an American army
surgeon and one of the largest contributors of quotations to the X . He was
held in a lunatic asylum for murder at the time.
Minor's condition deteriorated and in 1902, due to delusions that he was being
abducted nightly from his rooms and conveyed to places as far away as
Istanbul, and forced to commit sexual assaults on children, he cut off his own
penis (autopeotomy) using a knife he had employed in his work on the X. His
health continued to worsen, and after Murray campaigned on his behalf, Minor
was released in 1910 on the orders of Home Secretary Winston Churchill. He
was deported back to the United States and resided at St. Elizabeths Hospital
where he was diagnosed with dementia praecox. He died in 1920 in Hartford,
Connecticut after being moved in 1919 to the Retreat for the Elderly Insane
there.

Thanks to Lin-Manuel Miranda's Broadway musical "X," the feud between X and
Aaron Burr is probably one of the most famous in the world. Both X and Burr were
Fathers of the American Revolution, but weren't big fans of one another. X had
played a huge role in Burr's loss in the presidential election of 1801, and once Burr
caught wind that X was also influencing his race for governor of New York, he
challenged X to a duel. X responded by putting out a smear campaign against
Burr, and things between the two only got worse. They finally met for their fated
duel on July 11, 1804, and X was shot and killed as a result.

When the Republic of Florence divided over the rule of Pope Boniface VIII, local
politician X traveled to Rome to preach about how awful the Pope was. The
Pope responded by inviting X to stay as his personal guest at the Vatican, and
while X was there, he had a militia overthrow and execute members of the
government who didn't agree with his rule. Essentially, the Pope murdered all of
X's friends, who also believed the Pope was terrible. Additionally, the Pope fined
X for being in Rome and declared he was never allowed to return from the city
again.
In response (and to the dismay of many 10th grade students) X wrote the Y,
where he reserved a space in hell for Pope Boniface VIII.

33. 12.
X = Dante Alighieri
Y = The Divine Comedy

Because X was such a massive celebrity, critics have disputed his death for years.
X allegedly died of an overdose of sedatives in London in 1970s. According to the
coroner's report, he choked on his own vomit after a long night of partying with
Marmalade stars. Although the general story around X's death was that he died of
an overdose, some claim he was actually murdered by his manager
___________.
Just days before Hendrix died, ______ (who had substantial debt) took out a $2
million life insurance policy on X. Considering those facts, and the massive
amount of red wine in X's system, some believe _______ killed X by drowning him
in red wine.

35. 13.
X = Jimi Hendrix

36. 14. Ilona Marita Lorenz was a German-American who had an affair with X and
was later recruited by the CIA to kill him. They gave her poison pills to put in
her ex-lover's food. Supposedly, he found out about the plot and pulled out a
gun. X put it in Lorenz's hand and closed his eyes, but Lorenz lost her nerve
because they still loved each other.
PS: Awww…!
PPS: Lorenz will soon be played by Jennifer Lawrence in a film about the
affair.
Finally realizing that it wasn't quite morally proper for United States
intelligence officers to sit around brainstorming unique killing methods,
President Gerald Ford put his foot down. In 1976, Ford issued Executive
Order 11905, which ordered that "no employee of the United States
Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political
assassination."

Rubondo is a small island in Tanzania on Lake Victoria that was identified as a
national park in 1977. During this period, several endangered species were
introduced onto this little island whose water-bound geography and lack of
inhabitation by humans and predators offered absolute protection. This
experiment managed to dramatically turn around the falling numbers of animals
like the chimps, elephants, colobus monkeys, suni elephants and African grey
parrots. As a result, what appropriate two-word mythological nickname has this
conservationist island acquired?

Noah’s Ark
