X is a weather phenomenon in which luminous plasma is created by

a coronal discharge from a sharp or pointed object in a

strong electric field in the atmosphere (such as those generated

by thunderstorms or created by a volcanic eruption).Often seen on

the masts of sailing ships it is hailed a good omen by some sailors

while others call it a bad omen. Benjamin Franklin was intrigued by

the occurrence of X and tried testing it’s occurrence. What is X?

X, in psychoanalytic theory, is a desire for sexual involvement

with the parent of the opposite sex and an associated sense

of rivalry with the parent of the same sex. Sigmund Freud

introduced the concept in his Interpretation of Dreams

(1899). Though Freud considered it to be a subconscious

longing in all humans it has been proved otherwise and has

been termed as an extremely unhealthy psychological

ailment. It has been proved that Freud himself suffered from

X and so did Shakespeare’s Hamlet. What is X?

Oedipus Complex

One of the stories that The Roman orator Cicero made use

of in his Tusculanae Disputationes, V. 21, is about the

sword of Damocles. According to the story, pandering to his

king, Dionysius, who was known to be tyrannical, his

coutier Damocles exclaimed that, as a great man of power

and authority surrounded by magnificence, Dionysius was

truly extremely fortunate. Dionysius then offered to switch

places with Damocles, so that Damocles could taste that

very fortune firsthand. Damocles quickly and eagerly

accepted the king's proposal. Damocles sat down in the

king's throne surrounded by every luxury, but Dionysius

arranged that a huge sword should hang above the throne,

held at the pommel only by a X. What was the sword of

Damocles held at the pommel by?

A single strand of horse hair

This picture is a timeline of the gradual development of

mathematical design starting with the development of

the Vastu Shastra in 3000 BC and the most recent

development being in 2009. This is a original graphic of

What is X?

The new Pepsi Logo

A X is a road or street that appears on maps but does not

exist in reality. X generally occur when city

planners or subdivision developers lay out and dedicate

streets that are never built. Commercial street maps based

only on official subdivision and land records may show

these streets, which are legally public rights of way though

usually undriveable. In popular culture there is an

interesting play on the phrase as the main character of

Chuck Palahnuik’s novel, “Fight club” and also it’s movie

adaptation lives in a house on X. What is X?

Paper Street

In Hindu mythology, X was the daughter of Shukracharya and his

wife Jayanti, who is the daughter of Indra. In her early life, she

was rejected by Kacha, the son of Brihaspati. Thus X cursed him

he will never be able to use his knowledge, in turn Kacha also

cursed X that she would not get married to any devas. She later

married Yayati, son of Nahusha whom she encountered when the

princess Sharmishtha pushed her into a well. X asked Yayati to

marry her as he had clasped her hand while lifting her out of the

well. Yayati and X had two sons, Yadu and Turvasu. X also means

"main goddess" or "mastermind“.

This is a very specific color scheme

of something. What?

The X is a river in Greek mythology that formed the boundary

between Earth and the Underworld .The rivers

X, Phlegethon, Acheron, and Cocytus all converge at the center

of the underworld on a great marsh, which is also sometimes

called the X. Apparently the gods were bound by X and swore

oaths to it. X had the power to make one invulnerable. The

great warrior Achilles is said to be dipped in the X by his mother

except for his heel which his mother was holding to prevent him

from drowning in the river. Give me the name of the river.

X- Styx

X is the centerpiece of AT&T Plaza at Millennium Park in

the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois. Constructed

between 2004 and 2006, the sculpture is nicknamed The

Bean because of its bean-like shape. Made up of 168 stainless

steel plates welded together, its highly polished exterior has

no visible seams. The design was inspired by

liquid mercury and the sculpture's surface reflects and

distorts the city's skyline. Visitors are able to walk around and

under X’s 12-foot (3.7 m) high arch. On the underside is the

"omphalos" (Greek for "navel"), a concave chamber that warps

and multiplies reflections. Identify X.

A X is a structural part of the above-ground anatomy of a number of

species of plants, a diaspore that, once it is mature and

dry, detaches from its root or stem, and is carried away by the

wind. In most such species the X is in effect the entire plant apart

from the root system, but in other plants a hollow fruit or

an inflorescence might serve the function. The X's association with

the Western films has led to a highly symbolic meaning in visual

media. It has come to represent locations that are desolate, dry,

and often humorless, with few or no occupants. A common use is

when characters encounter a long abandoned or dismal-looking

place: a X will be seen rolling past, often accompanied by the sound

of a dry, hollow wind. This is sometimes used, for comic effect, in

locations where Xs are not expected. Identify X.

X is a pejorative term used to refer to cheap popular serial

literature produced during the nineteenth century. The

term typically referred to a story published in weekly

parts, each costing a particular sum of money from which

it derives it’s name. The subject matter of these stories

was typically sensational, focusing on the exploits of

detectives, criminals, or supernatural entities. What is X?

The term X appears to have been coined by the feminist

critic Rosalind Coward in her 1984 book Female Desire in

which she writes:

"Cooking food and presenting it beautifully is an act of

servitude. It is a way of expressing affection through a

gift... That we should aspire to produce perfectly

finished and presented food is a symbol of a willing and

enjoyable participation in servicing others. X exactly

sustains these meanings relating to the preparation of

food. The kinds of picture used always repress the

process of production of a meal. They are always

beautifully lit, often touched up."
