I also can do an Excel spreadsheet on a toaster oven.

5. Pfft.
I can perform all of the functions of a nuclear particle accelerator with a hula hoop and a Tesla coil.

And I can play the William Tell Overture on a bandsaw.

7. I compile hardware drivers using yoghurt, granola, and chocolate chips.
The granola represents 0, the chips 1, and the yoghurt is the computational medium.

11. I was just told how to make a CB radio.
All I need is a pet rock and a pull tab from a Jax beer can.

My dog did not tell me where to find such items, though.
