That is not true. We have gotten acorns from an oak tree I planted when I was a kid and I turned 50 in June.
But all the others are true!

I'm gonna fall asleep on an airplane trying to lick my elbow and I'll have nightmares about vicious donkeys chasing me and wake up choking on the ball point pen I was using to figure out a word that rhymes with month.
Thanks for spelling out my destiny.

choke on a pen?
How do you manage that?? No seriously....
here is another,
It is true that people only use approximately 1 teaspoon of volume of their brains, THEIR WHOLE LIVES.... even though it is approximately the size of both your fists done, and placed next to each other with wrists touching. Einstein theorized that if we would use approximately 50 percent, we would have the power to vaporize a person with our thoughts...

Turtles can breathe through their butts.
I know it has to be true for some people too, cause their heads are always up there.
I guess they would fall in the using way less than a teaspoon of their brain category.
