first Pope, and one of the most revered figures
in Catholic lore.
When Peter was martyred by crucifixion he was
said to have requested to be crucified upside
down because he didn't feel worthy of dying the
same way as Jesus. As a result, many dyed-in-
the-wool Catholics actually consider the X to be
more acceptable contrary to the popular belief.

15. Scholars trace the origin of this term X to the historical
practice of itinerant judges on the U.S. frontier.
These judges were paid on the basis of how many trials
they conducted, and in some instances their salary
depended on the fines from the defendants they
convicted. The term comes from the image of these
judges hopping from place to place, guided less by
concern for justice than by the desire to wrap up as
many trials as the day allowed.

in near contact with a mass significantly hotter than the
liquid's boiling point, produces an insulating vapor layer
keeping that liquid from boiling rapidly.

evaporate than in a pan below the temperature of the
Leidenfrost point.

39. The dish ______ was introduced at the famous Buhari Hotel restaurant
in Chennai .

A source claims that northern Indian army soldiers frequented a military
canteen in Chennai. As most of the soldiers could not read the Tamil Menu,
they made their choice by citing the number of the dish on the menu.They'd
simply ask for “number X“
An urban legend suggests that the dish was invented by a culinary-minded
electronics engineer whose work involved designing batteries from Terbium,
an element whose atomic number is X.
Another account claims that the creator of the dish required chillies from Doddabetta,
the highest mountain in Tamil Nadu. However, a pack of vicious dogs were known to
roam the Doddabetta. The chef sent many men to the Doddabetta to obtain the chillies
yet no one returned, unable to climb the treacherous mountainside, or falling prey to
the pack of dogs. Eventually, the (X+1)th man went and was able to retrieve the
famous chillies. The chef decided to honour the X men who had given their lives for
the vital ingredient and named the dish ___________.
