No, a pencil is not alive. We know we are alive because we move, grow, and change. A pencil does not move, grow or change unless we move it or change it (for example: by sharpening the pencil).

Pencil sharpened at both ends allows electricity to pass through it because pencil lead is actually made of graphite which is a good conductor of electricity, so when you sharpen the pencil at both ends electricity can pass from one end, through the lead to the other end

Without lifting your pencil (until you finish of course) draw on a regular 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. You must make a complete circle, and a second circle inside of the first. The circles cannot connect. The line made by the pencil must be continuous. Impossible? Think outside of the box. Make a drawing as shown (ommiting dots) 1.......2..........3 a.......b..........c Connect 1 to a b and c, and the same for 2 and 3. One rule - the lines must not cross (and a line from a number cannot go through a letter, it can go to it, but no further). Try it, and complete it if you can. Can't figure out either? Hint for puzzle 1: Think of how the line could continue to somewere else on the paper and the on to the middle of the circle. Hint for puzzle number 2: There is no hint that wouldn't give it away. There is only 1 solution (there are of course different ways to draw it though).

The person may choke while swallowing the pencil. This can cause symptoms such as repeated coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath or rapid breathing. See: Choking
