3.• Adherents believe that the X view has existed since the

beginnings of civilization. They list individuals such as Lao Tzu, Buddha, and Jesus as examples of X prophets. They also describe Emerson, Whitman and Kurt Vonnegut to be X followers. X advocates and encourages the practice of "going with the flow" and "taking it easy" in the face of life's difficulties, believing that this is the only way to live in harmony. It also aims to assuage feelings of inadequacy that arise in societies which place a heavy emphasis on achievement and personal fortune. Consequently, simple everyday pleasures like bathing, bowling, hanging out with friends are seen as far preferable to the accumulation of wealth and the liberal spending of money as a means to achieve happiness and spiritual fulfilment.

• @ is the dried oleo gum resin of a number of Commiphora or dhidin species of trees. The @ trees are small or low thorny shrubs that grow in rocky terrain. Like frankincense, it is produced by the tree as a reaction to a purposeful wound through the bark and into the sapwood. The trees are bled in this way on a regular basis. When at the tree, @ is waxy and brittle, but after the resin is collected into large bales it becomes a dry, hard and glossy substance that can be clear or opaque, and vary in colour depending on aging from yellowish to almost black, with white streaks. The principal species is Commiphora ______, which is native to Yemen, Somalia, and the eastern parts of Ethiopia. Another primary species is C. momol. The related Commiphora gileadensis, native to Eastern Mediterranean and particularly the Arabian Peninsula, is the biblically referenced balm of Gilead. Several other species yield bdellium and Indian @.

46• The ______ (German; English: Overman, Overhuman,

Above-Human, Superman ;) is a concept in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche posited the ___________ as a goal for humanity to set for itself in his 1883 book Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The term was brought into English by George Bernard Shaw in the title to his 1903 play Man and Superman. During his rise to power, Adolf Hitler bastardized Nietzsche's term, using it in his descriptions of an Aryan master race. It was in this context that American Jewish comic book creator Jerry Siegel encountered the term and conceived the 1933 story "The Reign of Superman," in which "Superman" is "an evil mastermind with advanced mental powers". Throughout the following decade, Siegel, and Joseph Shuster, recast Superman into the iconic American hero he subsequently became. It is through this association with Superman the hero that the term "____" carries much of its English sense implying irresistibility or invincibility. What word ?

The Barmy Army We all shagged Matilda [Parody of Waltzing Matilda]

• Waltzing Matilda" is Australia's most widely known bush ballad, a country folk song, and has been referred to as "the unofficial national anthem of Australia".

• The title is Australian slang for travelling by foot with one's goods in a "Matilda" (bag) slung over one's back. The song narrates the story of an itinerant worker, or swagman, making a drink of tea at a bush camp and capturing a sheep to eat. When the sheep's ostensible owner arrives with three police officers to arrest the worker for the theft (a crime punishable by hanging), the worker commits suicide by drowning himself in the nearby watering hole, and then goes on to haunt the site.

Raymond, claiming a need for a uniting and recognizable symbol for his perception of their culture. This refers to the culture around BSD, MIT, GNU, Linux, Perl, etc.; that is, the community around free software and open source.
