For such a colloquial word, X actually has a very learned past. Samuel Johnson, the compiler of England’s first proper dictionary, claims the word comes from the Latin phrase non compos mentis (“not of right mind”), and was originally a legal term.

The origin of which known insult, not popularly used today.

 

Six Degrees

A published more than 1525 mathematical papers in his life. His friends honored his work with the idea of AX, which works on the same principle of six degrees of separation.
There also exists a BX, which honors the prolific actor B. Consequently there is ABX. Natalie Portman and Richard Feynman, both have an ABX of 6.
There is also CX which concerns musicians. Stephen Hawking is the only person to have a single figure ABCX.
Who are A,B and C?

 

Stupid Connect.

X is an island in the Islands of French Polynesia, an overseas collectivity of France in the Pacific Ocean. The island, located about 230 km (140 mi) northwest of Papeete, is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. In the center of the island are the remnants of an extinct volcano rising to two peaks.

It is a major international tourist destination and is frequented by many celebrities as a honeymoon destination.

In the New Testament, Jesus prophesied the betrayal by Peter: “Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, Peter, before ___ _______ _____ _____, you will deny three times that you know me.’” (Luke 22:34) Thus it happened (Luke 22:61), and Peter cried bitterly. This made the X a symbol for both vigilance and betrayal. It serves as a tangible vessel of Christ for some as in the gospel of Matthew, Mark and Luke in the New Testament with Christ speaking through the X. In the sixth century, Pope Gregory I declared the X the emblem of Christianity. This has led to the presence of something on the top of church steeples. What?

Erm….The scientific name of the answer goes into the connect.

X is a Dutch manufacturer of automotive navigation systems, including both stand-alone units and software for personal digital assistants and mobile telephones. It is the leading manufacturer of navigation systems in Europe. It was a follow-up of Palmtop Software.

On June 11, 2012, at an event for Apple’s iOS 6 preview, X was announced as the main mapping data provider for Apple’s revamped iOS 6 “Maps” app replacing long time provider Google Maps.

X is a 1977 American musical-drama film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is a musical tribute, featuring new songs by John Kander and Fred Ebb as well as standards, to Scorsese’s home town.

In 1979, the theme song from the movie was recorded by Frank Sinatra, for his album Trilogy: Past Present Future , and has since become closely associated with him. The song has been embraced as a celebration of the city, and is often heard at social events and in works that revolve around it.

5.

X refers to any of several types of sweets, especially small candies enrobed in chocolate.

The first reports of Xs come from the 17th century, when they were made at the French royal court. Their name arose from infantile reduplication of the French word for meaning ‘good’. In modern French and several other European languages, the term simply refers to any type of candy or small confection.

This sweet inspired Johann Strauss II to compose a waltz named “Wiener Xs”.

Ferrari launched its replacement for the Enzo this year in the Geneva motor show. It has a naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V12 along with a KERS system (first for any road going Ferrari). The mid-mounted, direct injection  engine is an evolution of the F12Berlinetta’s unit, and is hooked up to a dual-clutch gearbox and electric motor charging  a 120-cell, 60kg lithium ion battery pack. The V12 spins to 9250rpm and produces 790bhp; the electric motor adds the equivalent of another 160bhp making it a total of 950bhp and 663lb/ft of torque in a car that weighs around 1300kg dry (roughly the same as the Enzo).

G is a person who upsets the status quo by posing upsetting or novel questions, or just being an irritant. In his defense while on trial for his life, S pointed out the high cost to society of silencing individuals who were irritating- “If you kill a man like me, you will injure yourselves more than you will injure me,” because his role was that of G, “to sting people and whip them into a fury, all in the service of truth.”

G also appears in Greek mythology as a tormentor to I. Z lusts after I and turns her into a white heifer to hide her from his jealous wife. She is not fooled, and demands her as a gift from Z. She then sends K, the 100-eyed monster to guard her. H, on Z’s orders, kills K. When she finds out that K has been killed, causing I to become loose, she sends the G to torment and sting I, forcing her to wander far away from home.

The G also plays a role in the myth of how B loses P while riding it to the top of Mt. Olympus. Z is enraged by the human’s attempt to ascend to the home of the gods. He sends G to sting P, who is startled and he rears backward. B loses his grip and falls back to Earth. His life is spared, but he becomes blind and wanders the earth until he dies, being hated by both men and gods. He never finds P again.

Erm…G,S,I,Z,K,B and P please.

 

Even More Metallic People

The initial 1963 versions were made from ultra-fine 3-D knit iron alloy, powered by flat linear armature DC motors (rechargeable via any electrical outlet), short-wave radio (even a rotary phone was used once), collapsible roller skates. Most functions were controlled by miniature electronic switches mounted on the insides of various pieces; by pressing various combinations of them (using even the tongue), different systems were engaged.

The modern version is almost unrecognizable when compared to that.

Actually it looks almost exactly the same.

Hard to Swallow?

A history buff receives a call from a radio jockey asking,” Who shot A in that famous duel? “. Answering the question will win him 10000 dollars. He seems more than capable of answering the question (B) as his house is full of artifacts pertaining to the duel. However his mouth is full of peanut butter and all he can say is “Awwon Buww”, as he doesn’t have C to wash it down.

This is the first instance of an award winning advertise campaign and was directed by D. However these ads are more fanservice than trivia nowadays.

Last Man Standing

X is a philosophical idea concerning the existence of oneself. It is quite wacky to say the least an thus has been referenced in many works(read satirized). In Iain Banks’ Against A Dark Background, a hovercraft full of Xist mercenaries makes an appearance. Their philosophy however keeps them from being a cohesive unit.

“I used to be called Elson Roa”.

“Elson Roa”, she repeated.

“But then I became God”,he nodded. “Or rather realized that I always had been God. God in the monotheistic sense that I am all that really exists”.

“But if you’re God,” Sharrow said to Elson Roa, “why do you need the others?”

‘What others?” Roa said.

Sharrow looked exasperated. “Oh, come on.”

Elson Roa shrugged. “My apparences? They are the sign that my will is not yet strong enough to support my existence without extraneous help. I am working on this.” Roa coughed. “It is, indeed, in a very real sense, an encouraging sign that we lost six of our number at the Log-Jam, as this indicates my will is becoming stronger.”

“What about the others? Do they – the apparences – all call themselves God, too?” she asked.

“Apparently,” Roa said, without the hint of a smile.

“Hmm.” She bit her lip.

Roa looked suddenly confused. “Um, apart from one, who’s an atheist,” he said suddenly.

“I beg your pardon?”

“We all call ourselves God except for one apparence, who is an atheist.”

“Ah-ha,’ she said, nodding slowly. ‘And what does this person call themself?”

‘”Me.”

“Uh-huh.”
