1) Extremely simple question,so do not use google for this one alone.
The band was originally conceived by Jimmy Page and Chris Dreja after their original group, the Yardbirds, broke up so Page and Dreja put together a new band called the "New Yardbirds" to fulfill the commitment.
This band consisted of Page on guitar, bass player John Paul Jones, drummer John Bonham, and a then-unknown vocalist by the name of Robert Plant.
After playing the Scandavian shows, the group decided to change its name. Referring to the group's membership, Keith Moon( of ‘The Who’) had said, "With that lineup, you'll go down like a X.“
The band decided to drop the letter 'A' from the first word to ensure that the word was pronounced “____" and not “_____“.
X pls.
2)A random Trivial fact made into a question,but very workable indeed,
As we all know,Sir Robert Badenn Powel started the Scouting and Guiding Association long ago in the Brown Sea Island.
When he passed there were other Guys who took on the prestigious post of the world Leader of the Scouts and Guides.
The Post is currently held by a Great and Fine young Man(I'm Truely a fan of his),
the youngest to hold this post,
also the youngest Brit to Scale Mt.Everest.
This Guy is truely popular round the Globe,and according to Wiki,known atleast to 1.5 Billion ppl.

3) Two unrelated questions.
i) In ancient Rome, there used to be there kiosks at the intersection of three roads to provide information to travelers (but they were most often ignored). This is the most accepted etymology of which word in English?
ii) There are some places that lie exactly on the border of three different states i.e. point of intersection of the boundaries of three states. What are such places called?
{9th week, 3rd question, 3x3=9...you get it no?}
4) What connects A and B?
A
B
5) The colour of this ship was invented by X who served the British Royal Navy during World War 2. He noticed that a certain ship of this mauve-grey colour had disappeared from view during dawn. He realized that he could camouflage ships quite efficiently, especially when the sun was nearer the horizon and thus had an entire fleet painted this colour.
X later held the post of the First Sea Lord. He was assassinated by the Provisional Irish Republic Army when the IRA planted a bomb in his fishing boat.
Identify Admiral X and the colour.
the colour of the hull
6) This was probably one of the first broadcasting that was strong enough to leave the planet. Though the picture clarity wasn't all that good, it was strong and reached most of Earth and hence must have traveled quite a bit beyond the atmosphere. So, if ever aliens were tuning in, this guy would probably be the first human they would see.
So basically, what did the broadcast contain?
7) Swamiye Sharanam Aiyyappa...
Hariharasanam is Yesudas' masterpiece. One of the reasons this song is so popular apart from superb lyrics and tune and KJY's heartfelt rendition is the percussion, the mridangam especially. Who plays the mridangam?
8)This car's brand name in English denotes a sport but is actually derived from the German name for a warm, swift Atlantic ocean current.
In the U.S and Canada, the car is sold as 'Rabbit' and is one of the world's largest selling cars. Name the model and the brand.

Be sure to check this space this weekend...there could be something.....
An other Blog author - "As it turned out there was nothing :|".
1. A nice and simple way to start the first set of 2012. Baseball diamonds are historically laid out with home plate on the western side of the field, so that the afternoon sun would not be in batters' eyes. As a result, a left-handed hurler's throwing hand would be on the ______ side of his body when on the mound. This gave birth to a famous sporting term. The term please.
straight ahead is West
1) Southpaw
2. What was named as a pun on the scientific name of this wild creature?
2)Sylvester from looney tunes - from Felis silvestris , the scientific name for the wild cat.
3.Street food has been around in India for quite some time, from the mid 19th century.
During the 1860's a certain event in another nation led to a few rivers being blocked, which in turn affected the supply chain of a certain commodity which they imported from another nation, which was the leading exporter. Even the manufacturing had stopped in that nation because of this. So, Gujarati traders here took advantage of the opportunity and started working late at night in accordance to the international market and sell their goods. By that time, the traders were hungry and had nothing to eat, and everyone at home would be asleep. That is when the street food vendors came up with something to feed these hungry people and make more money as well, because they were basically using the leftover veggies. What did they do? (Well the situation still is the same now. These people still use only leftovers to make it :P)
5) Crackers like these are often refered to as X ( atleast in several Western countries) . The word X is also a term in Harry Potter, Star Wars and American football. Anyway, when moisture develops on the tubelike things in an X, these firecrackers dont explode properly.
This is the origin of a certain cliche...which one?
Standard Fireworks crackers are awesome
...but there are some crackers of other companies
which don't burst after contact with moisture
5) Damp squib
6) What does Calvin say? Whom does he quote?
6) "Because its there" - 'the most famous three words in mountaineering' which was uttered by George Mallory when asked why he wanted to climb Everest.
7) This week's hard connect. A hint if no one gets this in the next 4 days.
This picture is just to complete the list
and is not as specific as the first two
7) A Big Sorry to the Non-Indians. Nonsense. Carnatic music has a worldwide fanatic following. . Muthuswamy Dikshithar was named after Muthukumaraswamy of Vaitheeshwaran Kovil.
Saint Thyagaraja was named after Thyagaraja, the main deity of Thiruvarur.
Shyama Krishna was the nickname given to Shyama Shastri.
So the connect would be the naming of the Trinity,
8) X is theorized to serve one or more of the following functions :
altering and providing buoyancy
focusing sound waves
provide protection to the snout
X was initially mistaken to be something else which gave Y (which uses X for the above functions) its name. Humans use X in cosmetics,ointments and lubricants.
Serve us with the name of the mammal Y and if you can, X.
8)The animal is the Sperm Whale and X is spermaceti which was mistaken as sperm.
