Painting isn't just for people. This pig is a painter too!
This pig's name is Pinto. Since he doesn't have any hands, Pinto can't use a brush to paint. Instead, he uses other parts of his body.
First, Pinto puts his face and hooves in a bowl of paint. Then he walks over to a piece of paper on the ground and rubs the paint all over it. Sometimes he gets more paint on himself than he gets on the piece of paper.

But Pinto doesn't just use paint. Sometimes he also takes his food and puts it on the painting too.

繪畫可不是人類的專利，這隻豬也是畫家。
牠的名字叫「Pinto」。因為牠沒有手，無法使用刷子作畫，所以牠就改用身體的其它部位。
首先，Pinto 把鼻子和腳蹄放進一碗畫料裡，然後在地板的紙上走來走去，四處塗上畫料。
有時候牠自己沾上的畫料比塗在紙上的還多。
不過，Pinto 不只會用畫料，還會把自己的食物拿來作畫。
下次你在吃自己不喜歡的食物時，可別丟掉，用來創作藝術品吧！ （台北時報）
Many consumers are guilty of filling drawers or closets with old laptops, cellphones, fitness trackers and other electronic devices once they are no longer needed. It’s hard to know where to recycle such items, or it seems costly and inconvenient to do so. The world generates millions of tons of electronic waste — also called e-waste — each year. According to the UN’s most recent estimate, people worldwide produced 62 million metric tons of e-waste in 2022, and only about 22 percent of it was properly recycled. The US’ Environmental Protection Agency estimates that less than a quarter of e-waste is
You’re sitting in class when a classmate asks to borrow a pencil. It seems like a small favor, so you agree without hesitation. The following week, the same classmate asks to share your notes. Later, they request help with a group project. You agree each time — after all, you helped out the first time — but before you know it, it has become automatic. This scenario demonstrates the “foot-in-the-door technique,” a psychological concept that shows how agreeing to small, acceptable demands makes it easier to accept larger ones later on. The name for this strategy comes from door-to-door
A: The four-day Tomb Sweeping Day long weekend begins Friday and will run until Monday. Are you going to sweep your ancestors’ tombs? B: I did in advance last weekend, so I can go to Kaohsiung to see the musical “The Phantom of the Opera.” A: Wow, is “Phantom” touring Taiwan again? It debuted in 1986, so this year marks the 40th anniversary of the show. B: And it’s not just touring Kaohsiung starting March 31, but also Taipei starting April 21 and Taichung starting May 26. A: “Phantom” is one of the world’s Four Major Musicals. I’ve seen all of them, except “Les
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Gig Tripping “Gig tripping” combines concerts with travel. People fly to see their favorite artists perform — usually abroad—and spend a few days sightseeing before or after the show. While die-hard fans have done this since the 1960s, the post-pandemic travel boom changed the game. Even people who aren’t superfans are now booking international concert trips because they want to make the most of travel opportunities. This trend exploded in the US, as the math makes sense. Domestic concert tickets are so costly that flying abroad for the show plus tourism expenses often matches or even beats the price
