I'm quite good at drawing, but am rubbish when it comes to using paints. However, I want to try my hand at a painting to present to my best friend.

I'd like to do it a canvas, but wondered what paint would be best to use - bearing in mind that I'm relatively new to painting, and that the peice of work I wish to create will adopt a 'cartoon' style (think Powerpuff Girls)?

magicians with magic or just tricks?

There are different kinds of magic acts performed by magicians: from coin disappearing, pulling a rabbit/strips of cloth from the hat, card tricks, knot untanglement, you name it.
but what makes me wonder is people say those acts are just illusions and tricks performed by them..but how do you explain acts like levitation, disappearing of a huge object and making ashmarks on own palm but the marks also appear on the audience palm even though her fist was clenched?
are all these fake or real?

Can anyone translate "bile respirer" into correct English please?

I presume that it is French, but it may also have a literary connotation.

Wittgenstein, Sartre, Einstein and James Joyce ...?

Imagine these guys are having a chat in a pub: give an account of what they might be talking about in script form.

Please don't write an epic, limit yourself to no more than two lines of dialogue for each character. Have fun.

your turn to rate my poem... :)?

Love is true, to believe, to receive,
yet so blind , to be, to see,

Yet there's still people, who reject the fate given,
And even people, shows force against the heaven.

Look aside, from what image you see,
And listen, to your heart, the truth to set free.

You're trapped with a pretty woman in a place and it's very likely that you'd stay there for days with no help

to arrive! What would be working on your mind at that moment? Be true, don't lie.
