X is for X

 What do math variables, x-rays, Malcomb X, and the X-Files all have in common? They all use X to represent an unknown. 


X-rays-- Roentgen didn't know what he had, so he called them x-rays.
Malcomb X-- calls himself that for all of his unknown ancestors from Africa.
X Files--They worked on strange cases with unknown origins.

Going with this idea, my next two posts are Y is for x, and Z is for x. :)

  1. This was an X-ceptional post! I'm a little worried that you will make us do math in the next couple of days. ;)

    1. I promise there will be no difficult equations because I can't remember how to do most of them any more. :)

  3. You always have insightful posts June. I like your use of X. I have do idea what I'll use for X. I'll have to poll my co-workers for some ideas.

    1. Your co-workers have interesting ideas. I see you have used them a couple of times now. Maybe I should see if the people I work with would be interested in helping me with ideas for my blog because my mind is pretty blank sometimes.

  4. Very clever with the use of X, and subsequently Y and Z :) X was the hardest letter for me to come up, but you did a great job with it :)

    1. I have ideas, but still thinking about Y and Z. They are my unknowns or Xs. :)
