It is Simple to be Difficult but Difficult to be Simple

'X' is a is a savory cake of Indian origin popular throughout India.The cakes are usually two to three inches in diameter and are made by steaming a batter consisting of-fermented black lentils.The fermentation process breaks down the starches so that they are more readily metabolized by the body.
'X' (and the process of steaming) was known in India by as early as 700 CE. The process of steaming was influenced from Indonesia subsequently between 800-1200 CE, giving rise to the modern day 'X'. Earliest mention of the term 'X' occurs in the Kannada writing of Shivakotiacharya in 920 A.D, and it seems to have started as a dish made only of fermented black lentil. Chavundaraya II, the author of the earliest available Kannada encyclopedia, Lokopakara (c. 1025), describes the preparation of 'X' by soaking black gram in butter milk, ground to a fine paste and mixed with the clear water of curd, and spices.The Kannada king and scholar Someshwara III, reigning in the area now called Karnataka, included a/an 'X' recipe in his encyclopedia, The Manasollasa, written in Sanskrit ca. 1130 A.D. Although the ingredients used in preparing X have changed, the preparation process and the name have still remained the same. The word "X" is said to be of Indian origin and means the food which is cooked/baked and served . Indians have brought the popular 'X' wherever they have settled throughout the world. Cooks have had to solve problems of hard-to-get ingredients, and climates that do not encourage overnight fermentation.

The Angry Buddhist

__X__ didn't have a very stable childhood. He was put up for adoption by his biological mother, who went on to become a speech language pathologist. His biological father is a Syrian political science professor.

He went to Reed College, when he decided to visit India to "find himself". He came back a Buddhist with his head shaved and wearing traditional Indian clothing. During this time, he experimented with psychedelics, calling his LSD experiences "one of the two or three most important things he had done in life".

He will forever be remembered as an indelible author of the technological age.

Raining Supreme


The following is the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for a certain chemical __X__. It was compiled after Nathan Zohner rather precociously described the side-effects of __X__.
The side effects are such:

Dihydrogen monoxide:
  • is called "hydroxyl acid", the substance is the major component of acid rain.
  • contributes to the "greenhouse effect".
  • may cause severe burns.
  • is fatal if inhaled.
  • contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
  • accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
  • may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
  • has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
  • as an industrial solvent and coolant.
  • in nuclear power plants.
  • in the production of Styrofoam.
  • as a fire retardant.
  • in many forms of cruel animal research.
  • in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
  • as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Delicious and round, yet squared

Touted as the most complex crop circle ever found in Britain, the pattern appeared earlier this month near Barbury Castle, an Iron Age hill fort above the village of Wroughton in Wiltshire. 
Initially, crop circle enthusiasts were stumped as to its meaning and even a number of experts said it was 'mind-boggling'.
Dismissed in mid 2008 as being unsolveable, retired astrophysicist Mike Reed put 2 and 2 together to finally arrive upon the answer.
Upon having solved it, he produced a fractal of the form as described

"The little dot near the centre is the decimal point. The code is based on ten angular segments, with the radial jumps being the indicator of each segment. Starting at the centre and counting the number of one-tenth segments in each section contained by the change in radius clearly shows the values of the first 10 of __X___"

Glorified Tubelights aren't they?

The following is a description of the choreography behind the use of __X__ in __Y__

I developed different styles for the characters, and gave each of them a flaw or a bonus. So with ___ for instance, he's got a very business-like style — when he was younger he could border on the flashy and might twirl his __X__ a bit, because he was taught by Qui-Gon. Qui-Gon was brash, that rubbed off on ____ and ____ then taught _____, who was way too old to learn anyway... I think the style really worked well. The ___Z____ style of fighting is an amalgamation of all the great sword fighting styles. Melding them together is the difficult part — to move from a Kendo style to, say, Rapier requires a complete change in body and feet movement, and this must look effortless. The style moves seamlessly between the different disciplines, but remains technically correct throughout. It's unlike any other style of fighting and I think it's beautiful to watch.
