THE NAMESAKE
Pluto and its dwarf planet brethren have a new friend.
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) announced the name of a new dwarf planet to join the existing four in the solar system.
The object previously known as 2003 EL61 is now named X , after the goddess of childbirth and fertility in Hawaiian mythology. The name was decided by members of the International Astronomical Union's Committee on Small Body Nomenclature and the IAU Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature.
Give me X.

Fear of the dark......
The origin of the name X is unclear -- as with so many maritime symbols. It may have come from "Old Roger" which was slang for the devil. It may have come from the french for "red beauty" or joli rouge which likely referred to red flags (symbolizing blood) used by feared privateers in the 1700s. No matter its origin, however, its intent was clear: it was an intimidating signal to all who could see it.
Give me X. Also tell how this was an intimidating signal.
Give me X. Also tell how this was an intimidating signal.

The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan.
He will give those with him 666.
There was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan."
What is this infamous group of sentences?

Chk ur mail !!
19-Sep-82 11:44 X
From: X
I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers:
Y
Read it sideways. Actually, it is probably more economical to mark
things that are NOT jokes - given current trends. For this, use
Z
The above is an email written by X to his collegues advocating the use of something...Here Y and Z are one of the types of that thing...What is being talked about here??

The Word.....
A suburb in Mumbai, it lends its name to a very famous brand. One of the product of this brand is consumed the most in its class the world over (source: Wikipedia). This place is divided into two parts by the western railway line.
In English, it is a name that can be given to a boy and it also means "Little Rock". The pronounciation always confuses a listener with another word that means a conference held among enemies to discuss terms of a treaty or truce. Give me the word common to all of the above.

Quizical music!!
"The idea came up at the time when I was completely bereft of ideas. I'd been working on my own music for a while and was quite lost, actually. And I really appreciated someone coming along and saying, "Here's a specific problem – solve it." The thing from the agency said, "We want a piece of music that is inspiring, universal, blah-blah, da-da-da, optimistic, futuristic, sentimental, emotional," this whole list of adjectives, and then at the bottom it said "and it must be 3¼ seconds long." I thought this was so funny and an amazing thought to actually try to make a little piece of music. It's like making a tiny little jewel. In fact, I made 84 pieces. I got completely into this world of tiny, tiny little pieces of music. I was so sensitive to microseconds at the end of this that it really broke a logjam in my own work. Then when I'd finished that and I went back to working with pieces that were like three minutes long, it seemed like oceans of time". -This was Brian Eno talking about his most famous creation. What is being talked about here??
