"Intelligence Under Questionable Zone-I"

Hi all
Ive NOT been blogging for sometime now, and it seems as though the proverbial "Writer's block" is here to stay. So thanx to "pattu" and the hazaar other quizzing blogs, ive decided to post a couple of quizzes, until I hit upon a million dollar idea for my next post!!! Those kind enough to attempt it, post ur answers nd suggestions as comments or mail them to lathishdavinci@gmail.com

1) Identify this chap on the stamp & the lady from the portrait. You may call them professionally related...
















2) Kindly furnish "specific" names.












3) Which entity would you associate with this symbol?







4) Sitter- Identify him & his "vaahan".





















5) Yet another man..yet another "vaahan"!!!
















6) In the first week of October, 1925, his test subject was a ventriloquist's dummy, Stooky Bill, which was placed in front of the apparatus.

"The image of the dummy's head formed itself on the screen with what appeared to me an almost unbelievable clarity. I had got it! I could scarcely believe my eyes and felt myself shaking with excitement."
What historical first was being recollected??

7) During the Crusades of the 11th Century, the Knights of St John received instruction in first-aid treatment from Arabs and Greeks. The Knights of St John acted as the first emergency workers, treating soldiers on both sides of the war of the battlefield and thus the concept of XXX started in Europe. The Surgeon-in-Chief of the French Grand Army, "Baron Dominiquie Larrey" created the first official army medical corp. in 1792. Trained attendants with equipment moved out from the field hospitals to give first-aid to the wounded on the battlefield and/or carried them back by stretcher, hand-carts and wagons to the field hospitals. The motorized version of XXX has been in use since the beginning of the 20th century. In the 1950s the United States pioneered helicopter-XXX during the Korean War. Whatitis??

8) Identify the duo-for a clue go to question-2











9) Confessions first, a questionably framed question...The very first instance of this was placed on February 16, 1968 in Haleyville, Alabama made by Alabama Speaker of the House, Rankin Fite and answered by Congressman Tom Bevill.

10) A connect to wrap it up... 4 visuals in all. As pattu would put it,"Put fundaes"!!
