What exactly are you paraphrasing?

LOL! So do I! (I'm just waiting for luck to come around!)

I'd say "are", since both of them are important. But it may be subject to discussion...

To me only 73rd & 42nd are correct, since three > third, and two > second.

Do you mean something like "the splattering of the blood/the blood splattering proved the victim had been standing when she was first hit"?

But "gift" has another meaning (to be gifted for sth); you can't use "present" in that case (but I'm sure you already know that...)

How about: "If you don't like what I've prepared for breakfast, you'll just have to go without" ?

It's a film, a movie

My mistake, UG... My brain had read "get off" instead of "go off". So you're right, it's not correct.
