ANSWER: All these find a mention in the song "We didn't start the fire" by Billy Joel

Kudiyaan Ne Naa Mera Rakhiya

He was born on July 6, 1947 in Bowie, Arizona to a Native American (Navajo) father and an Italian American mother. He graduated from Rangeford High School, and then was drafted into the United States Army at the age of 17 on June 8, 1964. He was deployed to South Vietnam in September 1966. He returned to the U.S. in 1967 and began training in the Special Forces (Green Berets) at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. In late 1969, he was re-deployed to Vietnam. In November 1971, he was captured by North Vietnamese forces near the Chinese-Vietnamese border and held at a POW camp, where he and other American POWs were repeatedly tortured. He escaped captivity in May 1972, but was then re-deployed. At some point in his military career he also apparently received training in flying helicopters.




Upon his return to the U.S., he discovered that many American civilians hated the returning soldiers, and he himself was subject to humiliation and embarrassment by having anti-war "hippies" throw garbage at him, call him "baby killer", and exclude him from society. His experiences in Vietnam and back home resulted in an extreme case of post-traumatic stress disorder. At the same time, inner questions of self identity and reflectiveness cause him to lash out at society rather than handling difficult situations in a "civilized" manner. Who?

wat is so special about this one of a kind Ball

easy one!!

Today, X is the best-selling board game in the world, sold in 103 countries and produced in 37 languages. It was developed in 1934, the height of the Great Depression, when Charles B. Darrow of Pennsylvania, showed what he called the X game to the executives at Parker Brothers. Can you believe it, they rejected the game due to "52 design errors"! But Mr. Darrow wasn't daunted. Like many other Americans, he was unemployed at the time and the game's exciting promise of fame and fortune inspired him to produce the game on his own. With help from a friend who was a printer, Mr. Darrow sold 5,000 handmade sets of the X game to a Philadelphia department store. People loved the game! But as demand for the game grew, he couldn't keep up with all the orders and came back to talk to Parker Brothers again. The rest, as they say, is history! In its first year, 1935, the game was the best-selling game in America. And over its 65-year history, an estimated 500 million people have played the game of X!

   Over 200 million X games have been sold worldwide.

World records are maintained for the longest game in a treehouse (286) hours, Underground (100hours), in a bathtub (99 hours) and upside-down (36 hours).The longest  game ever played was 1,680 hours long. That is 70 straight days!

In Cuba, the game had a strong following until Fidel Castro took power and ordered all known sets destroyed.

For the love of football don't Google!!!

X was born on 7 April 1983 in Boulogne-sur-Mer and raised in a low-income neighbourhood on the fringes of the city. 

When he was two years old, he and his family were involved in a car accident in his hometown, colliding with a truck.

X suffered serious facial injuries that resulted in over one hundred stitches and left two long scars down the right side of his face. 

Prior to joining Stade Brestois in 2003, he worked as a construction worker with his father, which X referred to as a "learning experience". 

X is a convert to Islam and, following his conversion, adopted the name Bilal Yusuf Mohammed.
