You Will Never Walk Alone....

Fans of Everton and Liverpool always debated who he supported. In an interview in 2008, he cleared the air.
"Here's the deal: my father was born in Everton, my family are officially Evertonians, so if it comes down to a derby match or an FA Cup final between the two, I would have to support Everton. But after a concert at Wembley Arena I got a bit of a friendship with Kenny Dalglish, who had been to the gig and I thought 'You know what? I am just going to support them both because it's all Liverpool.'"

Whose words?

The Deal....

'The Deal' is a 2002 TV-movie. It portrays the early life of two young politicians (A & B), trying to make it big and ultimately one going all the way to grab the top job. Throughout the story one get's to witness their friendship where one (B) supports the other (A) even agreeing to endorse the person in case one of them ever get's to lead the party in the future. When one such moment arises B forces A to lead from the front. But he chooses to let it go. In a dramatic turn of events later B takes upon him and here's when things take a turn. 'A' refuses to budge and feels betrayed. Sanity prevails and a deal is thus struck between the two.

The drama is around which two real life personalities and their agreement which proves beneficial to both in the long run?

Legal Tussles Uff....

Apple and Samsung have been in legal tussle for long over several patent issues. Both the warring parties have had there share of wins and loses. The story of the long drawn court battles began just days before the iPhone launch in 2007. But a very interesting point came when Galaxy Tab maker put forth an argument that the idea of the iPad wasn't original. Instead it was almost four decades old. The proof was given in the form of a minute long video from a movie.

Which geeky director's futuristic project became the basis of an argument to nullify the patent of the iPad by Samsung?

It's that time of the year

X is a universally known tune and according to the Guinness Book of World Records, it is the most recognized song in English. Its melody comes from the song “Good Morning to All”, a song composed for kindergarten children during the 1800s. In 1935, it was copyrighted by the Summy Company which were later bought by Warner Music in 1988. Many legal battles have since then ensued over its copyright status with many claiming that such a famous tune cannot be copyrighted. On 6 August 2013, the Curiosity rover on Mars made X the first song ever to be beamed back to earth from another planet. Id X.

A Sports Movie:

This man was considered a robber in the late 1800s, lived in a forest, and ran around with his gang of thieves causing harm to the villages. His act post the stealing part is said to have give the sport it’s name X.

What is the sport X and the movie Y?

X was created as an ad-free alternative to existing social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter. 

The X web site was launched on March 18, 2014, complete with a manifesto that claimed to distinguish it from social networks such as Facebook. The site promised it would never sell user data, proclaiming that "You Are Not A Product".

The social network service officially launched on April 3, although membership registration was only by invitation.

X gained added attention in September 2014, when numerous members of the Y  community left Facebook following the controversial enforcement of its real-name policy, thought to be intended to exclude drag queens in San Francisco.

At its peak, the social network was processing more than 30,000 signup requests an hour.

It is estimated that 20% of sign ups remain active on the site one week after registration

• When X attempted to publish his novel publishers rejected it for its disturbing content. This led him to work on his most famous novel, Y, which he wrote as an attempt to disturb the publisher even more for rejecting him.
• Writing in his spare time while working for Freightliner, Y was  initially published as a short story in the 1995 & was later expanded it into a full novel which—contrary to his expectations—the publisher was willing to publish
•  Y was later adapted into a film which was a box office disappointment and the critical reaction was mixed, but a cult following soon emerged as the DVD of the film became popular upon release.
• X later commented that Y ,the movie, was so good that he was “ sorta embarrassed by the book.”

Nonsensical Vocabulary

"A sophisticated rhetorician, inebriated with the exuberance of his own verbosity and gifted with an egotistical imagination that can at all times command an interminable and inconsistent series of arguments to malign an opponent and to glorify himself.”
A very famous speech made by then British PM Benjamin Disraeli taking a jibe at his opposition WE. Gladstone at Riding School, London, July 27, 1878.

How is this quote famously spoofed?

Oh! mi Amor!

The term X was coined in 2011 by the blogger and critic Myles McNutt to describe the numerous scenes in a popular TV show in which some details of the plot are revealed during amorous activities. The term X has since been retroactively applied to similar practices in many earlier works, including the older shows Deadwood and The Sopranos (frequently set in a strip club), many older cop films (likewise) and even the 1930s comic strip Jane.
