1.The first X celebration in India was organised in Madras by the KisanParty of Hindustan. This was also the first time the red flag was used in India.

It’s been said that X was named after a room at CERN (if you read about Tim Berners-Lee, you’ll know that that’s where the web began) where the original web servers were located. However, Tom S. tells us: “Having visited CERN myself, I can tell you that Room X is not on the fourth floor – the CERN office numbering system doesn’t work like that – the first digit usually refers to the *building*number (i.e. Building 4), and the second two to the office number. But, strangely, there is no room “__″ in building “4″, the offices start at “410″ and work upwards – don’t ask me why. Sorry to disappoint you all, but there is no Room X in CERN –it simply doesn’t exist, and certainly hasn’t been preserved as “the place where the web began”. In fact, there *is* a display about this, including a model of the first NeXT server, but the whole “Room X″ thing is just a myth.”

The term X is an alteration or Hobson-Jobson of the Persian phrase "Shāh Māt" which means, literally, "the King is helpless" (or "ambushed", "defeated", or "stumped", but not "dead").It is a common misconception that it means "the King is dead“. The term X in modern parlance is a dead metaphor for an irrefutable and strategic victory.

X was the 13th element to be discovered. For this reason, and also due to its use in explosives, poisons and nerve agents, it is sometimes referred to as "the Devil's element". It was the first element to be discovered that was not known since ancient times. The discovery of X is credited to the German alchemist Hennig Brand in 1669, although other chemists might have discovered X around the same time. Brand experimented with urine, which contains considerable quantities of dissolved X from normal metabolism. Working in Hamburg, Brand attempted to create the fabled philosopher's stone through the distillation of some salts by evaporating urine, and in the process produced a white material that glowed in the dark and burned brilliantly. It was named X mirabilis ("miraculous bearer of light"). His process originally involved letting urine stand for days until it gave off a terrible smell. Then he boiled it down to a paste, heated this paste to a high temperature, and led the vapours through water, where he hoped they would condense to gold. Instead, he obtained a white, waxy substance that glowed in the dark.

Like a number of other animated cartoons from the 1930s to the early 1950s, X featured racial stereotypes. After explosions, for example, characters with blasted faces would resemble stereotypical blacks, with large lips and bow-tied hair. Perhaps the most controversial element of the show is the character Mammy Two Shoes, a poor black maid who speaks in a stereotypical "black accent" and has a rodent problem. One of the creators of X, who was responsible for these gags, claimed that the racial gags in X did not reflect his racial opinion; they were just reflecting what was common in society and cartoons at the time and were meant to be humorous. Nevertheless, such stereotypes are considered by some to be racist today. Mammy Two-Shoes' voice was redubbed by Turner in the Xd-1990s to make the character sound less stereotypical; the resulting accent sounds more Irish. One cartoon in particular, His Mouse Friday, is usually kept out of television rotation because of its depiction of cannibals. If shown, the cannibals' dialogue is edited out, although their mouths still move.
