Why do politicans wear flag pins?
First of all, it's a tradition. I'm not exactly sure when it started but politicians, most recently the presidents have worn the pins to show patriotism and American pride. They probably do it because they want to show love for the United States, or they want to seem more patriotic to gain votes. I mean, I'm not a politician and I almost always wear an American flag pin on my lapel when I wear I suit.

Why is the french flag red white and blue?
Blue and red were the colours of the town of Paris (the colours were meant to honour the two patrons saints of the town, Saint-Denis and Saint-Martin). The emblem of the town is still blue and red today. White was the colour of the monarchy, especially for the last kings before the revolution. At the beginning of the revolution, the king Louis XVI visited the city hall and in a gesture towards the populace, he took the blue and red cocard and put it on his hat next to the white one. The associated colours were chosen by the revolutionaries to create the French flag, officially adopted in 1974.

Death and Darkness!! The color BLACK usually implies evil!! It can mean nocturnal-ism - creatures of the night such as WOLVES and VAMPIRES!! BLACK is the base of the GOTH style!! GOTH is not an EVIL religion or a cult that worships the DEVIL or anything negative!! It is simply a type of style that many people take to naturally!! People who usually wear a lot of BLACK on a regular basis wear it because they like the way it looks!! It doesn't necessarily mean that they are "666" - DEVIL SERVERS!! It's just a punk style that has developed over the years!! EVIL is just a stereotype!! Just because someone dresses a certain way doesn't mean that they worship the DEVIL!! Appearances can be deceiving!!

Why does 8085 microprocessor has 8 bit flag register when it has only 5 flags?
The 8085 microprocessor has an 8-bit flag register, even though it only has 5 flags, because all of the registers in the 8085 are 8-bit or 16-bit. In fact, the flags register is considered to be part of the accumulator, as one "register pair", for purposes of stack push/pop and interrupt call/return.
Be warned, however, that you should not attempt to change the state of bits stored on the stack and then pop'ing them into AF, because some of the three "unused" bits might be undocumented but actually used, or their meaning might change between different versions of the chip.
