<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #111111; line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">In April 1996, several newspapers published articles with excerpts like these:<br />
“Gates gets credit but someone else did the real work”.<br />
“Whatever the problem is, calling Microsoft Tech Support will be futile.”<br />
“Like previous products, this one can’t get by without a lot of third-part support.”<br />
“After years, something from Microsoft has shipped on time.”<br />
“For at least one more year, it’s bound to suck.”<br />

Who/ What are we talking about...?( a simple one to get)<br />
<br />
Ans: These are the prank calls which appear in the Simpsons TV series, which are based on the Tube Bar Prank Calls. These pranks calls are made to Moe the Bartender at 'Moes', and a request for the persons having the above name is made. These prank calls were a recurring joke in the initial seasons.Tibuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17642523525599496248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001766341483436361.post-34995562284849074462010-08-21T23:59:00.004+05:302010-08-24T17:50:46.375+05:30QOTD 21/08/10<video><br />

Identify this iconic ad campaign....(3 points)<br />
<br />
Ans: Hehe :) this is kinda embarrassing. The video didnt work for most participants.. I am pretty sure most of you would have got the answer pretty easily.<br />
<br />
Its The Apple 'Think Different' campaign...<br />
<br />
ps: The video-not-playing fiasco has forced me to 'think differently' too....no more videos....till i have managed to master the art of it.Please continue attempting the questions...</video>Tibuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17642523525599496248noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3001766341483436361.post-5368376982879496932010-08-20T23:59:00.038+05:302010-08-22T06:45:10.333+05:30QOTD 20/08/10A very famous cult movie featured this song in its opening credits. The soundtrack of this movie became 21 on the Billboard 200 list, and went on to become platinum.Thats how we might have come across this catchy tune for the first time.<br />
<br />
Later,William James (known by a completely different stage name) came across this tune by accident in a music store in Brazil.The version James came across was done by Dick Dale who also did the tune for the abve moive.He claims to have made a famous song of his,which incorporates this tune, while on a train in Brazil, and later on, on a flight to Tokyo. The song became a #3 on the UK singles chart,#1 in Belgian top 50. That should have technically been the second time we mite have come across the tune.<br />
<br />
The tune was used a number of times in a number of ads,movies,tv shows.<br />
<br />
Identify the movie, the band which James is a member of, the song which uses the tune, and the name of this famous tune.<br />

</div> Ans: The images are Willie the Lion, Mascot of FIFA WC 1966, The Wembley Stadium, Venue of the final. The person is Harry Enfield and the comic strip is Pickles, created by Brian Crane(btw, whose name was given at the bottom of the strip. All comic strips have the name of the creator/artist and the agency its syndicated to). Harry Enfield gave his voice to Pickles in a 2006 ITV feature "Pickles:The Dog Who Won The World Cup".<br />
<br />
The Connect: Pickles the Dog who retrieved the lost Jules Rimet trophy.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickles_(dog">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickles_(dog</a>)<br />
<br />
ps: I guess the question turned out to be tougher than I thought, the Mascot and the venue were meant to signify the WC final after which the winner gets the trophy. I thought the most obvious clue , Brian Crane's name after the bottom of the strip, which upon mere googling would give 'pickles' WC+ Pickles=Pickles the dog.<br />

Lal Bihari overcame the handicap of being dead, and managed to obtain a passport from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India" title="India">Indian</a> government so that he could travel to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_university" title="Harvard university" class="mw-redirect">Harvard</a> to accept his Prize. However, the U.S. government refused to allow him into the country. His friend Madhu Kapoor therefore came to the Ig Nobel Ceremony and accepted the Prize on behalf of Lal Bihari.
