I am writing a story based on the magical world created by J. K. Rowling for my own personal enjoyment.
I need to know a good spell that a witch would show to a skeptical muggle. Something not-to-big or scary, that can be performed indoors.

I've always been a fairly eloquent writer of the English language. However, whenever I visit this Yahoo Answers, I can actually feel my literary abilities slipping away. I blame this on the quality of what I'm reading...It's kinda like when one moves to a different region of the country and adopts the local accent. Anybody else have this problem? And do you think...these people...are really that bad at writing, or is it just an online thing?

Work has always been drudgery. why cant it be joyous? Why do we humans have to slog to make a living? Cant we concentrate on making a life instead? Is it because we dont want to share with others. But then what makes us hold back? Is it fear of a rainy day? 225 of the world's richest people are supposed to be earning more than what 3 million of the poorest earn at a given time. Isnt it a sin, then that people are dying of hunger?

I really enjoyed the straight forward and simple yet deep style this book was written in. Also, I liked that it was fairly short and not overly descriptive (I don't really enjoy books that pain-stakingly describe every aspect of the environment...). The different prespective and the fact that it provided a slight lesson into Igbo culture was also appreciated. Can anyone recommend other books that I might enjoy?

They are a man and woman band, with some friends helping when necessary. Wow, what a life. I wish I knew what they are doing now. Anyone willing to let me know, I'll really appreciate. Thanks. Ron Couch

I wrote your name on the palm of my hand,
I clenched it into a fist.
I ran towards the sea . . .
Your name was beating so hard, in my palm,
As if a crazy heart . . .
I couldn't have you anymore,
Opened my bleeding fist,
Threw you towards those drunk waves.
I sat there, watching you dancing hot with the waves.

Riddle: Which Egyptian pyramid am I? Use 18 inches as the measure of the cubit, rather than the 20 some odd inches mistakenly used. My height is about 100 times the number Pi (3.14159...), and the squair of the diagonal of my base is about 444,444.444 (that is 444 thousand 444 point 444), the squair of a side of my base is 222,222.222. And the length of my diagonal is about 666.666 (or two thirds of one thousand).

again use 18 inches for the unit measure. 1 foot is 2/3 of the unit. A meter is about 39.37 inches.

The pyramid is found in modern day Egypt (for clarification as some pyramids are found in Sudan).

Good luck in solving this riddle.
