Question # 16

       According to a popular legend, a French gentleman, M.Lacroix, from the city of Angoulême was inspired to begin mass producing Xwhen he traded a quantity of it for a bottle of fine champagne, and realized the potential market. Promptly in 1660, production was started, and was very profitable but they didn't get their first major contract till 1796, during the Napoleonic wars, when Napoleon himself granted them a licence to benefit his soldiers who to his utter chagrin, had resorted to using books to serve their purpose. In 1860, M.Pierre Lacroix perfected the formula, and the company went global, becoming the biggest in the business and now even sponsor a MotoGP team.

Question # 12

Y appears in a famous movie.

X named the character Y "Bruce" after his lawyer.
Y spent most of the movie broken-down, and was unavailable for certain shots. This led X to use the camera as Y, and film from Y's point of view. Many think this added to the "chilling/haunting" quality in the final release.

Y often appeared in the Family Guy cartoon series, but speaking with a very flamboyant Southern accent.
He is voiced by Mike Henry (who played one of Peter's best friends Cleveland Brown) in all appearances in Family Guy. He is one of the many characters that uses the voice of Bruce, the very falmboyant Southern gay man also voiced by Mike Henry.

Id X and Y.
