@Glennn,
Q: Is it true that if you hit the ground while dreaming that you're falling, you'll die?
A: I've fallen to the ground many times in dreams, leapt from tall buildings, bridges, and cliffs. It's fun. However, the opposite effect may occur in people who never wake, so you never know.
Q: Can you really get shocked by putting a fork in a toaster and touching the elements? If so, then why can you put a pan on an electric stove element without it shorting out.
