Yes, CIA tested and approved method.
-
Surely :D
-
Unfortunately, though I have tried learning through osmosis MANY times, it has never been successful. But give it a shot! You never know!
-
Yes you will have all the knowledge the universe can offer!
-
Sadly, no and you'll have a sore neck. :P
-
When you wake up, a sore neck would be more like it.
-
Yes, after a night of sleeping with the thickest, heaviest hardback encyclopedia you can find tucked under your pillow, you will have absorbed the knowledge that doing so really hurts your head and neck. If you want to make the whole process even simpler, you could do it with the A-L volume of the local phonebook so you can call yourself a good chiropractor when you wake up.

No, but if you want to get smarter, I do recommend sleeping at a Holiday Inn Express.
-
Yes, you will! In the morning you will have learned that it's stupid to put an encyclopedia under your pillow while you sleep. Since you did not know that the night before, that means you got a little smarter!
-
Yes probably and with luck in a different country too, that should be a buzz.
-
No. if you could I would put a dumbell there and walk up in great phyical condition.
-
Yes. When your neck hurts you will know not to sleep with an encyclopedia under your pillow again.
-
Yes and to prove your head has absorbed all the knowledge it will be so heavy your neck will ache.
-
No, but I've heard if you play a recording of information you want to absorb, it makes it easier to learn it while awake.
-
my magic 8 ball says hell no.
-
Most definetly! You would have learnt that your neck-ache was caused by the book under your pillow.
