    X is a chain of restaurants run by cooperatives. A total of 13 coops run around 400 X outlets. It was closed down by the British in the 1950's since the business was not doing well. The dismissed workers, under the able leadership of Y, a communist leader, took over it to run it without any management. The first such coop was founded in Bangalore in 1957.

    We did not invent the algorithm. The algorithm consistently finds Jesus. The algorithm killed Jeeves.
    The algorithm is banned in China. The algorithm is from Jersey. The algorithm constantly finds Jesus.
    This is not the algorithm. This is close.

    X, founder,frontman and the only official member of Y, promoted the band in a unique way. Before Zwas released, songs from the album were found on USB drives hidden at Y's concert venues in as part of the alternate reality game whose name is same as Z.

    It presented the scenario of year 2022, termed Z, the year America is reborn. . The U.S. govt. maintains control through institutions like the Bureau of Morality and the First Evangelical Church of Plano.

    A government corporation Cedocore distributes the drug ______ through the water supply, making Americans who drink the water apathetic and carefree. There are several underground rebel groups, mainly operating online, most notably Art is Resistance and Solutions Backwards Initiative(a group of students, professors and computer experts devise a successful means with which to send information into the pastto prevent the calamities.).

    There are increasing sightings of a pair of massive ghostly hands and arms extending down from the sky into the ground. The sequence ends with a broken message announcing the appearance of the hands over the United States Capitol Building. The message cuts suddenly, implying the end of the world.

    The websites and music of the Z alternate reality game are implied to be part of the information packets sent back.

    ANSWER:[ The connect is "Like a Virgin". The first pic is of Guy Ritchie, Madonna's husband who popularised "Like a Virgin". In the first scene in Reservoir Dogs Mr.Brown explains to everyone what "Like a Virgin" is all about. The same song is sung/played two movies, Moulin Rouge and Bridget Jones.]

    X was implemented by Y while he was working with IBM around 1980. It was meant to be used by people writing programs or documentation.

    y : "I may have invented it (X), but Z really made it famous"

    As computers became ubiquitous, so too, has the jargon. X can also mean "dump," or "do away with."

    ID the "club"

    Labels: | 2 comments

    Lawrence Sperry and Waldo Polk are believed to have founded this "club" in 1916 aboard his Curtiss Flying Boat. Some famous members of the "club" are Richard Branson( joined at the age of 19) and Ralph Fiennes. Membership to this club is open, its just a matter of the individual proving his worth. The band Bow Wow Wow released a song by the club's name in its alum, The Last Of The Mohicans.

    Hint: This club's act is also performed in one of the movies of the "Emmanuelle" series.)


    P.S.: No point googling these words directlym :P
