5)Who on what?
I've grown a goitre by dwelling in this den–
As cats from stagnant streams in Lombardy,
Or in what other land they hap to be–
Which drives the belly close beneath the chin:
My beard turns up to heaven; my nape falls in,
Fixed on my spine: my breast-bone visibly
Grows like a harp: a rich embroidery
Bedews my face from brush-drops thick and thin.
My loins into my paunch like levers grind:
My buttock like a crupper bears my weight;
My feet unguided wander to and fro;
In front my skin grows loose and long; behind,
By bending it becomes more taut and strait;
Crosswise I strain me like a Syrian bow:
Whence false and quaint, I know,
Must be the fruit of squinting brain and eye;
For ill can aim the gun that bends awry.
Come then, Giovanni, try
To succour my dead pictures and my fame;
Since foul I fare and painting is my shame.

Most of the questions in this post have been inspired from a recent trip to Berlin. The gory(especially what I saw in a concentration camp),bravery, brilliance, persistence I learnt from these stories of WWII will never fade from my mind forever.I am thankful for such a beautiful life we all live. Sorry to sound dramatic especially in a quiz blog but the Holocaust stories were too much to digest.

1)Sorry to use the F* word.But this is indeed a F*ing brilliant operation.What?

#Operation Bernhard where the nazis employed jews to print counterfeit notes during the WW.

2)He is creditted with havng identified Hitler's body after his suicide. But what was the proof?

#Hitler's dentist Dr Hugo Johannes Blaschke. Hitler used to have chocolate cake everyday at 5 PM. Shortly before he shot himself he is said to have had the cake and it was with the remains of the cake the doctor confirmed it was Hitler.

3)No one connected to the WWII but a German very close to Apple Inc. Who?

#Dieter Rams a leading designer at Braun said to be Steve Jobs's inspiration. Rams is most noted for his design principles and keeping them simple.

4)What are these colored charts?

#The various colors allotted to Jews based on their category.

Gold/Yellow stood for the Jewish people
Purple stood for Religious Offenders (fundamentalists)
Green stood for Criminals
Red stood for Political Prisoners
Pink stood for Sexual Offenders, e.g. homosexuals, rapists, pedophiles etc
Brown stood for Illegal Immigrants
Dark Blue stood for 'Asocial ' Offenders: Behavior problems such as Mental Illness
White stood for 'Special Treatment'.

Some would even have a nested star like gay jew would have a pink and a gold star.

5)Identify X? Courtesy : Wikipedia

There were four principal variants of the X, the P50, also known as the X 500, produced 1957–1962; the X 600, produced 1962–1964; the X 601, produced 1963–1991; and the X 1.1 produced 1990–1991 with a 1,043 cc (63.6 cu in) VW engine (making the "1.1" a slight misnomer). The engine for the X 500, 600 and original 601 was a small two-stroke engine with two cylinders, giving the vehicle modest performance. At the end of production in 1989 it delivered 19 kW (26 horsepower) from a 600 cc (37 cu in) displacement. The car took 21 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) and the top speed was 112 km/h (70 mph). There were two main problems with the engine: the smoky exhaust and the pollution it produced—nine times the amount of hydrocarbons and five times the carbon monoxide emissions of the average European car of 2007. The fuel consumption was 7 l/100 km (40 mpg-imp; 34 mpg-US).[6] Since the engine does not have an oil injection system, two-stroke oil has to be added to the 24-litre (6.3 U.S. gal; 5.3 imp gal) fuel tank[7] every time the car was filled up, at a 50:1 or 33:1 ratio of fuel to oil. Gas stations of the time in countries where two-stroke engines were common served premixed gas-oil mixture from the pump. Today, owners normally carry a container of two-stroke oil in the car for this purpose. The earlier models have no fuel gauge; a dipstick is inserted into the tank to determine how much fuel remains.

X two-stroke engine.The X was a steel monocoque design with roof, bootlid/trunklid, bonnet/hood, bumpers/fenders and doors in Duroplast, a form of plastic containing resin strengthened by wool or cotton. This helped the GDR to avoid expensive steel imports but, in theory, did not provide much crash protection, although in crash tests it allegedly performed superior to some contemporary Western hatchbacks.[8][9][10] Because the car lacked a fuel pump, the fuel tank was placed high up in the engine compartment so that fuel could be fed to the carburettor by gravity; a trade-off of this design is an increased fire risk in front-end accidents. The X was the second car to use Duroplast, after the "pre-X" P70 (Zwickau) model (1954–1959). The duroplast was made of recycled material, cotton waste from Soviet Union and phenol resins from the East German dye industry, making the X the first car with a body made of recycled material.[5]

Production of the X on April 30, 1991 reached 3.7 million vehicles.

1)In 1879, Ira Remsen and Constantin Fahlberg, at work in a laboratory at Johns Hopkins University, paused to eat. Fahlberg had neglected to wash his hands before the meal—which usually leads to a quick death for most chemists, but led to him noticing an oddly sweet flavor during his meal. The duo published their findings together, but it was only Fahlberg's name that made it onto the (incredibly lucrative) patent, now found in small packets at tables everywhere. That is to say, Remsen got screwed—he later remarked, "Fahlberg is a scoundrel. It nauseates me to hear my name mentioned in the same breath with him."What?

#Plastic spheres block sunlight—and cancer: If you make a mess, just cover it up. That’s the theory behind the Department of Water and Power’s latest project in Los Angeles, which aims to prevent the formation of a carcinogen in two drinking-water sources, the Ivanhoe [pictured] and Elysian reservoirs. The unwanted chemical, bromate, forms when sunlight, chlorine and the naturally occurring mineral bromide intermingle. The city considered solutions, like a tarp or metal cover, but they were all too costly, labor-intensive or ugly. Then the ball idea, courtesy of LADWP biologist Brian White, floated to the top. The layer of three million black polyethylene balls prevents sunlight from completing the deadly cocktail. If it seems a bit temporary, it is—officials plan to retire the balls in five years, when a replacement underground reservoir near Griffith Park is finished

Mike Masnick originally coined the term Streisand effect in reference to a 2003 incident in which Barbra Streisand unsuccessfully sued photographer Kenneth Adelman and Pictopia.com for US$50 million in an attempt to have the aerial photograph of her house removed from the publicly available collection of 12,000 California coastline photographs, citing privacy concerns. Adelman stated that he was photographing beachfront property to document coastal erosion as part of the California Coastal Records Project.
