Dysprosium?

—srikanth @ 11:07

They started out big. Everyone expected them to be the next greatest thing. In fact, their first customer was this guy:

But they tanked pretty soon, essentially because they had no market left after cellular phones became popular. Their logo is:

They don’t have much of a market, but some people can’t live without them. Who are they?

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum

—srikanth @ 10:06

The whole world’s talking about elections of some sort (be it the party in power in Bengaluru or Washington DC), so we thought we’d get involved too.

Name the political party involved in this demonstration (Name blurred out).

Show Answer

The Swedish Piratpartiet. They are quite possibly the only political entity worth paying attention to. All they need is to become associated with Pastafarianism, and they would have cornered the world wide geek vote.
