1.This theory from Redditor DiggaDoug492 proposes that these "monsters" are nothing more than humans as seen through his senses. He actually lives on a normal farm; he only thinks it's in the ____________ because his owners are too old and apathetic to walk him, so he simply doesn't know what's outside.

This theory explains why the owners never seem to realize the terrible danger they're in: In reality, they're actually just watching him running around, being terrified of the postman, or a vacuum cleaner, or whatever.

2.A California federal appeals court declined (July 25,2002) to reinstate a lawsuit from Mattel Inc. alleging that X infringed on the their patent.

Mattel claimed that they violated mattel’s copyright and that it confused consumers into thinking Mattel backed this production. MCA also sued Mattel for defamation while the suit was pending. Mattel, the court wrote, said MCA's alleged trademark violation was a "crime."

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court that threw out the defamation suit and the trademark suit.

3.

4.X were sold mainly in urban specialty stores and became popular among many members of the hip-hop, skater,hardcore, and rave subcultures in the mid 1990s. The signature-look of X was baggy with extra-large pockets which were originally designed to hold spraypaint cans. The original logo was designed by an LA Graffiti artist, Nuke, who the brothers hired to create the triple crown.

As of 2016, X now sells designs such as Mammoths, Kangaroos, Bulldogs, Crime Scenes.

5.Actor Kinshuk Vaidya, who came into the limelight through his portrayal of X in popular show “Y”, is making a comeback on Indian television after a decade with upcoming show “Ek Rishta Saajhedari Ka”. He says he is “excited” about his return to the small screen.“Television has always been my first love. I knew I was going to make a comeback to television after completing my studies. I had been offered many shows meanwhile but I wanted to take up something which could excite me,” Kinshuk said in a statement.

“I love the concept of the show and hence when I was offered this show there was no looking back. I am pretty excited to work for a television show again after 10 years. Hope the viewers shower their love and accept me the same way they did when I played X,” he added.

6. Finch got 0, but afridi got 12It may as well be called the Aaron Finch rule after the KFC T20 Big Bash League decided any ball that X.

There was controversy earlier this week when a dead ball was ruled following a massive hit by the Melbourne Renegades star.

Finch hit a towering blast that looked likely to sail into the top deck of the grandstand until it struck a beam 25m almost directly above the mid-wicket boundary.

The change has now been made for this stadium in particular.

7.Way before the saas-bahu saga took a melodramatic turn, spanning across hundreds of generation leaps and many yawns, there was X. That was probably the last time we didn't cringe at the thought of watching saas-bahu on television. The quirky love-hate relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made X one of India's most loved comedy serials.

The series was first premiered on Doordarshan's DD Metro Channel, where it ended in 1995. Thereafter it was taken up by STAR Plus in 1996. A sequel to the serial with same themes and extended cast, Kadvee Khatti Meethi (2006).

8. The song became controversial because of rumors that X made references to Satanism, the angel Lucifer (the Devil), the inferno, and the like. The rumor is rooted in the title of the song, "Y", which—if broken down—supposedly makes reference to a demonic being.

Other lyrics like Mira lo que se avecina, a la vuelta de la esquina viene Diego ("Look what's coming up, around the corner comes Diego") supposedly signifies Diego as some kind of messenger. Con la Luna en las pupilas ("With the moon in his pupils") supposedly means Diego can only be seen at night; Y donde más no cabe un alma ("And there, where no soul can be squeezed in") supposedly means hell.

The group members, however, have insisted that that the song is in large parts nonsensical rather than satanic.

9.In 2633, the evil Red Falcon Organization have set a base on the Galuga archipelago near New Zealand in a plot to conquer the world. Pfc. Bill Rizer and Pfc. Lance Bean who belong to an elite group of soldiers specializing in guerrilla warfare, are sent to the island to destroy the enemy forces and uncover the true nature of the alien entity controlling them.

10.Unlike other social brands, X was serious about advertising. The brand communicated its quality through its ads.The ads features a mascot and a very popular jingle. The advertisement came out at a time when animation was unheard of in Indian Advertising. This mascot created by Ramdas Padhye has been the face of X. This desi avataar of a classic looney toons character is a timeless classic.

11. 50 ps.Those hot afternoons when I use to be hidden in my room just because my mom won't allow going out. And when I try to go in sun making an excuse of hide-n-seek but actually have to buy a few X from local vendor. Mom used to say to me "don't have these frozen stuff right after coming from sun". So, I use to wait, cool myself down sitting in front of cooler. Then enjoy my X one by one. These frozen drinks in a tube like pouches were our life saver in summer during childhood

12.This character X first appeared in comics in 1983. The creators based the character X on the character of a boastful but cowardly man, with a violent profession, in the then famous television drama “I Love Lucy”. Contrary to the name of the character, no living being is harmed/killed in any of the comics, but are in fact, often saved. We only see half the face of the character at all times, with a prominent mustache.

Since early 2015, rumors on a movie being made on the character X have been circulating.

13.•The X has an entrance at its center, located in a central building with two side wings with housing, food supplies, bathing quarters and sleeping quarters. There is no night or day in the Room, but the surroundings remain a constant bright iridescent white aurora. Its reflective floor is of undefined area, and the X's boundaries are thought to stretch to infinity in all directions even though it appears to have a definite atmosphere, limiting its size.•The temperature in the area fluctuates rapidly, ranging between -40 °F (-40 °C) and 122 °F (50 °C), and the air pressure is a quarter of Earth's•One minute of real time is approximately six hours, five minutes, and 15 seconds in the X. There are dual giant hourglasses of emerald sand adorning the sides of the building that count down a year within the chamber.

14.•A significant aspect in the series is that X is ageless and immortal. X's body is immune to nearly all forms of physical injury. If wounded, the wounds inflicted upon him will regenerate in moments. He can only be harmed and finally defeated by Y’s sword.Despite his nearly omnipotent abilities, X has a few weaknesses. These include:•His shapeshifting is limited to his red, green, and black color scheme, also, his reflection will show his normal form, no matter what guise he takes.•He can be harmed by magical objects and attacks.

15.•In the animated series, Walter never seems to exhibit a personality of any kind. He seems to be characterized only by his mute pursuit of X. On the one occasion he managed to acquire it, it failed to work. This may imply that he has no personality or soul.•X by itself has no will, soul, spirit or even its own personality. However, once it is used, being a magical object, it turns whoever uses it according to the ulterior motives of the mind and the deepest feelings of the heart that the user even does not know or has normally.

16.•In 1997, an episode of X sent nearly 700 Japanese children to the hospital. “Electric Soldier ____” included a segment where Y uses his attack to blow up missiles. Because Y is in cyberspace at the time of the attack, the animators employed a different technique to make his usual attack look more high-tech. The strobe effect used ended up sending kids to the hospital with seizures, headaches, and other symptoms, a phenomenon later called “X Shock.” The episode has not been broadcast since.

17.It’s well known that Bikini Atoll, an island in the Pacific Ocean was where twenty-three nuclear devices were detonated a part of a series of nuclear weapon tests conducted by the United States. Radiation from nuclear bombs is known to cause genetic mutations. This theory states that the whole cast of X are the results of the mutation; it gave the animals intelligence and sentience, equal to that of human value, and human characteristics.

18.X's real name is Susan Astronomonov, a name which humiliated him in his early phases in life and a case of horrible parenting. X first met Y when Y was making fun of his name and this triggered X's hatred towards Y. However this is not what made him evil as X claimed to be evil from birth. X's parents are stereotypical hippies and hate his work, always call him Susan which made him extremely angry.Id X and Y.

19.Kurt Vonnegut Jr.’s 1963 science fiction novel Cat’s Cradle starts with the line “Call me Jonah.”Which literary classic is he paying a tribute to?

20.If B1 is ‘Commander and the Leader’, B2 is ‘The Joy and the Laughter’ and B3 is ‘The Toughest Fighter’,How do we collectively know them as?

21.

Back in the 90’s DMA games was working on a racing game called Race and Chase. The idea was "to produce a fun, addictive and fast multi-player car racing and crashing game“. As far as the play testers were concerned, the game sucked, except for one glitch which made the police in the game go crazy for no reason. Instead of politely pulling you over, the cops would ram you off the road (their AI was accidentally trying to drive through the player). Suddenly everyone was crashing non-stop.Play testers thought this was hilarious, and in fact abandoned the missions just to screw around and see what kind of mayhem they could cause. The designers decided to not only leave the psychotic cops in there, but build the entire game around the kind of ridiculously violent car chases caused by the glitch.The game was eventually completely overhauled to create one of the most influential modern gaming series’. What series is being talked about here?
