93. Another Tribute....

Pretty easy. What is being spoken about here?

"For scientists and laymen alike, this week's historic ____ was the first indication of the progress made in the greatest and most secret research race of this era. Except for a few breathless tales of mysterious walled laboratories and factories whose workers were interned for the duration, scarcely a word leaked out....hidden under the official designation '___________ ________', the vast forbidden areas in Tennessee, Washington and New Mexico got top priorities not only on material but also on scientific brains and effort."

- Time Magazine, August 13, ____


The 64th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki disaster was commemorated on 6th August, 2009.

The blanks are 'blast', 'Manhattan Project', and 1945.

89:As a tribute to GE...












This is my first post from outside campus...and my first one in a very long time...sorry about that people... Anyway, connect the pictures shown above...
Alright...hasn't been cracked by anyone...so I've uploaded one more pic which might make things easier to figure out...I hope someone gets it now...It's a tribute to my present place of work...
The connect is NBC Universal/General Electric...credit for either answer.
1. The 1st pic is the GE building with the address 30, Rockefeller Plaza which houses the NBC Universal(owned by GE) HQ.
2. The Mummy was produced by Universal pictures which is a subsidiary of NBC and GE.
3. 30 Rock is a TV series which airs on NBC. 30 Rock focusses on the life of people who run a TV show which is being shot at 30, Rockefeller Plaza.
4. Contrary to everyone's comments, The Simpsons does not air on NBC. The connect with Simpsons is the fact that Universal Studios owns a resort in Orlando which has an amusement ride called 'The Simpsons Ride'!
5. The fruit is calabash also known as hulu. Hulu.com is an online video streaming website owned by NBC and GE.
Completely cracked by noone.

91. Connect


Identify and connect the pictures.




The connect is Ku Klux Klan.

The first pic is of Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was a member [and allegedly the Grand Wizard] of the KKK.

The Adventure of the Five Orange Pips is centred around the KKK.

Forrest Gump reveals in the opening scenes, that he has been named after Nathan Forrest.

Kudos to Shridhar, who got the 3rd connection.

Credit to Nidheeshwar and Rahul for getting the connect right.
