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. :)
This was an X-ceptional post! I'm a little worried that you will make us do math in the next couple of days. ;)
ReplyDeleteYour foreshadowing may be correct. Or not. Stay tuned...
DeleteAm also worried just like Kris above :)
ReplyDeleteUnique take on x
Dropping by from a to z "The Pensive"
I promise there will be no difficult equations because I can't remember how to do most of them any more. :)
DeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
DeleteVery 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 :)
ReplyDeletebetty
I have ideas, but still thinking about Y and Z. They are my unknowns or Xs. :)
DeleteI didn't know that about Malcolm X's reason for the X
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard that, either.
DeleteI, too, didn't know the reason for Malcolm X's last name! Interesting.
ReplyDeleteI learned somethings from this post, also.
