Get, Set and Next

1) X's origin is a French word derived from Tamil in the 16th century by influence on colonials. It is inexpensive, cylindrical and 3.5" to 6.5" long. The ends are clipped and the diameter varies b/w 34 to 37 parts out of 64-ths of an inch and can last over half hour. It was traditional in Myanmar and India, very popular during the British Raj, and also used in euphemistic references to Burma. During the times, it was linked with immunity and resistance to tropical infections such as malaria. It has had several luminaries among its fans, including Mark Twain, Francis Ford Coppola, and people like Kipling who wrote about it.

X?


2) The first half of Y is adapted from ____ an old German shepherds' herding cry. That is, actual shepherds from Germany. Not the dogs.
Well, it was, up until around 1819, when the citizens of Germany and other neighboring countries began using it as their rallying cry while going Hebrew-hunting in the Jewish ghettos. Y is a phrase. Y?


3) This ones a bit long to read..but nice to crack.

One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A ______ is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against direct interference by the ____): in a Geiger counter there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small, that perhaps in the course of the hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges and through a relay releases a hammer which shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the ____ still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The psi-function of the entire system would express this by having in it the living and dead ________ (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts.

It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality. In itself it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks.

The above text is a translation of two paragraphs from a much larger original article, which appeared in the German magazine Naturwissenschaften ("Natural Sciences") in 1935.

All the blanks are the same.. X ?


4) The meaning of the good-to-hear word X indicates a white pigeon which has been shown flying around the heroine. A pure white pigeon is a symbol of innocence, gentleness, peace and liberation and aspires to fly high and hence the lovely dove in the movie has been named X! X?
