We unfortunately do not have gills, thus we do not have the capability to breathe underwater. Plus, we have cells that are not used to being in a hypertonic environment so after a long enough exposure our cells will shrivel and then we will die due to necrosis as well as dehydration.

Why can't pointers (C++) be easier?

C++ was based on C and therefore cannot be easy to understand.

Pencil lead is primarily graphite, which is made out of carbon. An average dried leaf is about 50% carbon and weighs about 1 gram. So three leaves would have 1.5 grams of carbon.

A pencil has a mass of 5 grams, assuming most of that is carbon, three leaves would give you 0.3 pencils.

well, since you can make sounds by manipulating it, you can use it to make music, therefore it counts as an instrument

Because your highlighter might be the same color as your crayon. Also they both are relatively the same shape.

The sun reflects light off of it and we see that light as travels down to earth through empty space.

An engineer is a Quaternary occupation, associated with the people who use math, physics, and other related subjects in order to produce the most efficient solution to a given problem within constraints possible. I AM THE ENGINEER.

I'm sorry to tell you this but it was never actually alive. Although most graphing calculators do respond to stimuli, maintain ordered internal conditions, and "metabolize" batteries into energy, they do not have the ability to reproduce or evolve and therefore cannot be considered a form of life.

I'm afraid it doesn't. It is mass produced in a large factory from many other items, which were created to be food, are combined and heated, and there is also a chance that something that was genetically modified is also included.
