Never thought that line was particularly impressive. A pencil is roughly a sharpened stick, so all you had to do is jab it through the eye into the brain. Would have been more impressive if he had used something more improbable, like a piece of paper.
Nah, it’s actually surprisingly difficult to jab a pencil into someone’s eye and kill them. Don’t feel like getting out on any more lists so I won’t offer a source, but I will give you a good starting point to do more investigating by saying that there was a railroad worker who was blasting a tunnel out with dynamite and managed to get a railroad spike through his skull. It altered his personality but he did live and make a “full” recovery
