The first part of this poem is the beginning
of….?

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,

There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more,
From these our interviews, in which I steal
From all I may be, or have been before,
To mingle with the Universe, and feel
What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all
conceal.

-- Lord Byron

This use of the term first appeared in the United States during the
opening decade of the twentieth century — for example, from
comments like: "Say, do you know the fellow who is putting up a new
station out your way? I think he is a _________."

The word was slow to gain popular usage as it was thought pejorative,
since the word was already in use as slang for “incompetent”.

Of the several misleading or false etymologies, a popular one is that the

term is a tribute to the scientists Heinrich Rudolf Hertz, Edwin
Armstrong, and Guglielmo Marconi. However, this cannot be the source
of the term as Armstrong was an unknown college student when the
term first appeared.

Xinhua News Agency (the news agency run by the Chinese
Government) publishes(-ed) a series of articles condemning X.
Excerpts from a random one among them, entitled "A Road to
'Nirvana' That Leads to Death“

“ X, headed by Li Hongzhi, has led numerous people to death on their

way toward "nirvana", by bewildering followers with words stolen from
lawful religions, such as "the doomsday", "being raised to the skies"
and "nirvana".

During their investigation, the reporters found many tricks used by X

to cheat its followers. For instance, X asks its practitioners not to take
any medicine when they fall ill. Taking drugs would lead to
accumulation of "Yeli", or bad things, in the patient's body, according
to Li's instructions. “

What are they condemning?

The song began with a band member playing organ at a
recording session, in parody of the group's former co-
manager Eric Easton, who had been an organist .
Another member contributed the song's
signature sitar riff (having taught himself to play after a visit
with George Harrison) and acoustic guitar. The lyrics are
seemingly about a man mourning his dead girlfriend.
In recent years, the song has become associated with
the Vietnam War due to its use in the ending credits of Full
Metal Jacket and the opening credits of Tour of Duty.
The band members have also said that the song title was not
intended to have a comma, but it was added by the record
label.

X was a medium-fast bowler for Dulwich College. He
 played at Lord's six times, once opening the
batting with Arthur Conan Doyle. He was
affectionately called "Plum", and of his own name,
"I rather liked it, particularly after I learned during
my boyhood that a famous Middlesex cricketer,
Pelham Warner, was called Plum."
His move to the US soon converted his loyalty to
baseball. He once said: "My game now is baseball.
Oh, I am crazy about it. I'd much rather watch a
baseball game than a cricket match. I think what's
wrong with cricket if you are keen on one team - I
was very keen on Surrey - well, I'd go to see Surrey
play say Lancashire, and I'd find Lancashire has won
the toss, and they'd bat all day, whereas with
baseball the other side only bats about ten minutes
at the most." X?

The Dirty Mac
is an Internet phenomenon where an attempt to
censor or remove a piece of information
backfires, causing the information to be
publicized widely and to a greater extent than
would have occurred if no censorship had been
attempted. Examples of such attempts include
censoring a photograph, a number, a file, or a
website (for example via a
cease-and-desist letter). Instead of being
suppressed, the information receives extensive
publicity, often being widely mirrored across the
Internet, or distributed on file-sharing networks.
