• Luke and Murphy Jensen were brothers who reached a career high
ranking of No.6 and No.17 respectively in doubles. In 1993, they
teamed up and won the French Open. This is what World Tennis
Magazine says about their win
• "The unlikely run of the rag-tag underdog team, with their
refreshing irreverent demeanour, mixed with youthful enthusiasm,
high-fiving and _______ after winning big points are the feel-good
story of the French Open"
• X and Y were inspired by the Jensens' win and copied something
from their idols, as a tribute to the Jensens.
• "We are big fans of the Jensen brothers,” X said recently. “They
really helped make tennis cool. We kind of emulated those guys.”
• Id X and Y and what did they copy from the Jensens? (Part points
available; X and Y can be interchanged)

• X developed a reputation for cursing the teams he supported at the 2010 World
Cup in South Africa when he was present for the elimination of England (his
homeland), the U.S. (he attended with Bill Clinton) and Brazil (he has a Brazilian
son with model Luciana Gimenez). At a concert in Rome, he predicted Italy would
beat Uruguay to reach the knockout stage. Italy lost 1-0 and were eliminated. At a
show in Lisbon, he predicted Portugal would win the tournament. Portugal also
went out in the group stage. And when England played Uruguay, he tweeted
"Let's go England! This is the one we win!!!" England lost and, like the others,
failed to reach the knockout stage.
• This prompted Brazilians to dub X "pe frio" — a term for bad luck that translates
to "cold foot." They tried to harness his powers and use them against their rivals
by bringing cardboard cut-outs of him wearing the opposing team's shirt and
offering a message of support in word bubbles.
• X showed up at the Brazil-Germany match wearing an England hat to try and
divert his curse to a team he's already doomed. But it was of no use and what
happened next was history. It was the first match X has attended this World Cup
and resulted in one of the heaviest defeats in World Cup history.

always called him by his initials. On his first

to Cleveland at age 9, the teacher misheard
his Alabama drawl and thought he said his

X was too shy to correct his new teacher in

• Chess960 is a variant of chess , publicly announced on June
19, 1996 in Buenos Aires. It employs the same board and
pieces as standard chess; however, the starting position of
the pieces on the players' home ranks is randomized. The
name "Chess960" is derived from the number of possible
starting positions. The random setup renders the prospect
of obtaining an advantage through the memorization of
opening lines impracticable, compelling players to rely on
their talent and creativity.
• It preserves the dynamic nature of the game by retaining
bishops of opposite colours for each player and the right to
castle for both sides.
• Who is the inventor of Chess960?
8. 6
• There is a conspiracy theory that X is an allegory for homosexuality.
In fact, the Telegraph argued as much in an article
• "The story is about a boy who lives in a cupboard (i.e. "in the
closet"). His relatives are ashamed of him because his parents were
quite eccentric (i.e. "flaming") and they are deeply concerned and
afraid that he will turn out just like them. On his 11th birthday (i.e.
roughly at the onset of puberty), the boy discovers that he is
actually different in both style and substance from normal people.
He then, literally, comes out of the closet and is groomed into his
new existence by a large, hairy bear of a man who shows him a
hidden underground community living right under the noses of the
general population (i.e. the gay subculture). The boy's first trip to
this subculture involves traveling through _______ a play on the
word diagonally (i.e. not straight).“

Leon Schlesinger Studios, which later became the Warner Bros Cartoons
studio, during the Golden Age of American animation. He was known for
one defining speech impediment and Mel Blanc patterned the voices of
two famous Disney characters, X and Y, on him
• Mel Blanc, in his autobiography, "That's Not All Folks!", says "It seemed to
me that such an extended mandible would hinder his speech, particularly
on words containing an 's' sound. Thus 'despicable' became
'desthpicable‘”
• In many cartoons, Y is shown intentionally sticking out his tongue while
speaking, to emphasize the speech impediment. Y is also known for
spraying people he's talking to with the saliva, which is a trait rarely
shared by X.
• To emphasize the speech impediment, X's catchphrase is "You're

• Pat Riley, legendary basketball coach and current Miami Heat president
owned three trademarks to the varying versions of the term X and filed for

• Riley first filed for X at the start of the 1988-89 season, months after the
Lakers won their second title and when the phrase was yet to enter the
American sports lexicon. The Lakers fell to the Detroit Pistons the
following year, but Riley cashed in in 1993, when the Bulls 'X'ed and did it
again in 1998. The trademark was also used when the New York Yankees
did it in 2000 and the Lakers did it in 2002.
• It was a Lakers guard -- Wes Matthews -- who claims he came up with X. "I

credit for having the vision to do what he did. I bet he made out real well
when the Bulls did it and can imagine, if they use it if the _____ win, he'll

you've lost you mind . They'll interrupt the conversation with
noises like "Huh?" "Hmm ..." and "What the fuck's wrong with
