4. No, but they made a great choking hazard.
It's a miracle any of us survived to adulthood.

5. My favorite line!
Weebles Wobble But They Don't Fall Down

I use it in times of emotional turmoil, when I can feel my emotions wobbling out of balance. The visual that accompanies "Weebles Wobble But They Don't Fall Down" of bringing them back to a harmonious state is most helpful.
