Nice try, but no cigar. If you pinch yourself and feel pain, that doesn't necessarily mean you're real. It may just mean that you're an extremely well detailed illusion.

And just because a tree is lying flat, doesn't mean it fell. Maybe it was chopped and gently lain down by empathetic axemen with ropes. Or maybe it just got tired of standing for a hundred years, and decided to sleep for a bit.
