  • How do I refer to a painting with a typo'd title in an essay?

    When writing an essay about a painting, is it bad form to refer to the painting as "Frida's Portray 2" (for example) when there's a misspelling in the title provided? This is not a notable piece by the way, it's from a local art gallery, (and it's very likely that English is not a first language for the artist) but that's how the gallery tag titled it.

  • The difference between piercings: 2g/6.0mm or 0g/8.0mm?

    I'm interested in getting fake gauges for Christmas, my ears already have the standard piercing size, but since my earlobes are really wide/big naturally, I'm looking to get the widest disc section I can, while still getting one with a bar I can fit through the hole.

    I admittedly know nothing about piercing sizes, so i come to you and ask what's the difference between THIS:

    http://www.amazon.com/FAKE-PLUG-SURGICAL-STEEL-8-0...

    and THIS:

    http://www.amazon.com/FAKE-PLUG-SURGICAL-STEEL-6-0...

    And which would get me the widest disc?

  • Easiest Way to communicate with an Otherworldly Demon?

    I need to find the easiest way to communicate with a high-ranking Demon, or preferably Satan himself. I would like to trade my soul for unsurpassed virtual creative/artistic skills.

    Do you suggest I go and purchase an Ouija board, or if that's not powerful enough, perhaps are there (reputable) mystics who can help me hold conference with a demonic presence?

    I am dead serious and not joking. I do not care for my soul, because even if i didn't sell my soul I'd probably go to hell anyway. I figure if i create beautiful things while i'm still alive, i'll be of more use to the surviving humanity when i'm gone, then if i wasted my soul and gone to hell anyway leaving nothing behind.

    Thank you for your time.

  • Computer Saturation/Contrast Setting Problems?

    I've been playing the game "Rohan for some while now, and while it changes the zoom and saturation settings when it is turned on, i havent had any issues until now because it undoes the setting changes as soon as i exit the game.

    But now My Internet, images, and everything is set with a REALLY high contrast/saturation. (restarting the game that caused it and logging out doesnt help, and restarting my computer doesnt help)

    Can anyone help me fix this?

  • Second Life: Virtual Copyright Infringements?

    In the online game second life, anyone can make items and sell them for virtual money. People often give their stores clever names, and If i were to name my store "Phoenix Down" a fictional potion in ANOTHER game Final Fantasy, would that be cause for copyright infringement action?

    I'm not taking or making money from it, simply NAMING my store in homage to the excellent game it is.

  • Ongoing Ingrown toenails.?

    SO I keep getting them. Ive had the proceedure where they cute off the side of the nail, like TWICE on each of my big toes, but no matter how vigilant I am about them, they always grow back ingrown and infected.(with puss and blood, the whole nine yards)

    It keeps leaving my nails smaller, and I'm afraid that I'll wind up with no nails at all, or that my avoidance of going to the podiatrist to avaoid it(SO embarassing) will leave me a toeless freak due to infection.

    Can't I just have my toenails surgically ripped out somehow and start from the beginning? I'm only 15, and I'm tired of having to wear closed toed shoes everywhere to avoid scaring people.

    Its incredibly inconvenient because it i so much as graze my toes against anything around the house, it hurts INCREDIBLY.

    Anyone have advice for me please?

  • Where can I get Microsoft GIF Animator?

    I downloaded it for free on my old computer a long time ago, but my friend told me that now you have to pay for it because it only comes with other software.

  • Scary Stuff --- Suicide.?

    I am now about to turn sixteen. I've had unofficialy diagnosed depression since i was at least fourteen. Sometimes I feel like my parents avoid me(they are almost impossible to talk to for days at a time), and no one really likes me. And it must be true, since the only friend ive ever had, has to be nice to me because our moms are friends.

    And So I've continued on and on in this spiral, extremely slowly, but surely slipping into myself, and receding from life, and into my writing.

    I've written countless short stories, at least three full legnth novels, and poems almost daily. But It doesnt make me as happy as it used to.

    Seeing as I've never had friends, let alone a love intrest, and people generaly avoid me, my life is doomed to this painful solice.

    I thought about suicide for the first time yesterday.

    I dont know if i'd actually go though with this, but its become a more and more rational option to me. If I cant be happy no matter what I try, then why live?

  • STD's and Vampirism Questions?

    Okay, Firstly Im 15.

    In the past I may have engaged in certain vampiric activities with people and peers of a promiscuous nature.

    If that said peer, did indeed have an STD of any nature, would I also contract that affliction?

    Also, since there is nothing visibly wrong with me, are there any STD's that you can have without knowing if you do?

    Do you think I should consult my pediatrician? And if so, how do you suggest I go about doing so?

    Please be mature and understanding in your responses.

  • Sigmund Frued's Id, Ego, and Super Ego Theory?

    I can somewhat understand the differences between his concept of the "id" and the "ego"/"superego". But I am lost between "ego" and "super ego". Im not that dense, but the textbook and internet research's wording for all of it is so much more complicated then it probably could be.

    Can someone please explain these three to me in a bit more simpler of a context please?

    And please only answer if you have some idea of what you are talking about. I dont want to have to wade through uneducated answers and guesses.

    Thank you.

  • How do you think death comes to each individual?

    From some people I have heard that death comes as an individuals, most positive, strongest memory.

    From some I have heard it comes however you imagined it would.

    I have also been told it happens like if you are falling asleep suddenly and never waking.

    What I'm trying to get to is:

    What are your theories on how death comes to you? and What makes you think so?
