Genesis 1

Prelims 1) In the medieval , a bell was ringed at a fixed time in the evening as an order to bank the hearths and prepare for sleep. The custom originated as a precaution against fires and was common throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. This gave rise to the word “X”, which comes from the French for “cover fire”. X has most recently been used in times of turbulence.

Prelims 2)
The origin of the name X is uncertain. According to Paul Ford's Companion to X, there is no indication that Y was alluding to the ancient Italian Umbrian city Nequinium, which the conquering Romans renamed X in 299 BC after the river Nar. However, since Y studied classics at Oxford, it is possible that he came across at least some of the seven or so references to X in Latin literature.[ There is also the possibility (but no solid evidence) that Y, who studied medieval and Renaissance literature, was aware of a reference to Lucia von X ("Lucy of X") in a 1501 German text, Wunderliche Geschichten von geistlichen Weybbildern ("Wondrous stories of monastic women") by Ercole d'Este.

Part of what has facilitated _____________'s spread are the reactions it causes. Hundreds of videos exist on YouTube of users showing the original video to their friends and taping their reactions. Even Joe Rogan, host of Fear Factor, a show notorious for the disgusting things its contestants eat, had to turn away in a reaction video posted to his blog. A reaction video starring Kermit the Frog proved very popular on the community-based popularity website Digg. In January 2008, Slate magazine documented the reaction video phenomenon with a slideshow featuring various reactions. The video is mentioned during a cutaway of the Family Guy episode "Back to the Woods", where Brian shows the video to Stewie and films his reaction.
