- I used to believe that once you reached 10 years of age, you were an adult. I thought every adult was 10 years old.

- I used to believe that limbs could grow back.

I thought limbs could grow back. When I was told limbs couldn't grow back at all, I panicked: I bled a lot back then (I had nosebleeds like almost every day) and I thought we started life with a finite amount of blood and could eventually, over the years, lose all of it. So I panicked and thought I was gonna die of too frequent nosebleeds.

I used to believe the monsters in my closet couldn't hurt me if I hid under my blanket.

did you find out otherwise? is that why you have no limbs?

Santa
God
Other things like Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy...etc
That a Ghostbuster was an actual profession (I wanted to become one)

This is pretty much my list to the t.

My mother once dropped me off at a new day-care and when she came back I had a name tag on my shirt that said "hello my name is Egon "

I seriously thought I was Egon for the longest time. Then I got the first NES and became Mario...

When I was like...5, my best friend told me that if I didn't pray before I went to bed, I would die in my sleep and go to hell. I didn't BELIEVE her exactly, but there was still this part of me that kind of thought "oh shit I could die" when I was going to sleep sometimes. Her mom was insane and I'm convinced she almost let me drown as a child in their pool because I refused to pray before I went to bed.

Sorry to hear that, Velfarre. People who say/do stuff like that are incredibly stupid. Also, praying is completely worthless.

I'm a complete athiest, but sometimes I "pray" just to do it... it's rare. But anyways, it makes me feel good sometimes... it's really strange. Am I screwed up or something? I don't think it's worthless...

The worst part about it (besides the drowning thing) was that she was such a little girl telling me I was going to hell, and that is just sad.

And I'm an atheist but I do see a worth in praying. I never did it myself, because obviously I don't believe in it, but it has sort of a placebo effect for some people and, especially during hard times, whatever gets them through is fine by me.

Yeah, that is right. Praying has sort of a placebo effect. In reality, it is worthless. However, if it makes one feel better then there is nothing wrong with that.

When I got my first cd (SPACE JAM HELL YEAH) heaps of the songs said FEAT. cause they featured another artist, well I thought Feat. must be like the best musician ever cause he seemed to be on so many songs and with everyone!

I didn't know about FEAT back then (I probably would've thought it was quite a "feat" that they made the song :/)

But I do remember back when wrestling was really big a lot of the wrestlers were listed as coming from "parts unknown". I thought this was a real place were all the cool wrestlers came from, although I didn't hear at as parts unknown, I thought it was some weird French/Cajun word like PARSOUNON

Haha I actually thought this as well. I eventually realized it's just that our eyes aren't perfect and they create this sort of grainy look to everything!

i believed that demons from hell were going to come get me while i was sleeping so i would hide under my blanket (just like the other guy in this thread)

i thought girls had dicks too (thus people saying SEX IS WHEN THE BOY TAKES HIS THING AND PUTS IT IN HTE GIRLS THING was very confusing--- led to a lot of confusing mental imagery. I remember drawing a picture of a naked girl (hahahahaha) on the playground and some kid being like HEY WHAT ARE YOU DRAWING and me being like NO NO and him looking and saying NO! GIRLS DONT HAVE THAT! and im like oh... what do they have? (i was ver young and idk if this was even really like SEXUAL THOUGHTS even))

i believed jesus etc also! easy answer!

Couch that reminds me of one time I drew a dog and drew its penis but at the time I thought those things were the dog's belly button so I didn't know why that was weird!

I used to believe in Sinterklaas and that babies werd born from the anus (this is really stupid if you take in considerartion that I teach biology nowdays -_-).

Speaking of that I can easily come up with some nice replies to these quotes:

Quote from: Pasty on March 16, 2008, 10:44:10 am

- my science teacher said that if someone held a sneeze in their lungs would pop (to this day I still don't know if this is true or not)

This is not true. What is true though, is that your tube of eustachius (the tube that connects your ear to your nose cavity) could get infected. If you hold a sneeze the air will go to places which it can easily acces. If you have a nose infection you could turn up with an ear infection afterwards. If the jerms acces your tube of eustachius they can infect your middle ear.

-That I could see atoms with my naked eye if I looked hard enough.

If you are talking about the weird stuff you see in front of you, moving along your eyes when you are tired I can explain this for you. I always thought it were bacteria on my eyeball. When the subject came up in class, my teacher told me that it were large proteins. So yes, at some level we have some microscopic view.

If you are talking about the hazy moving stuff you see when you are tired, I can tell you that I'm experiencing it at the moment too. It's pretty cool, but according to my information just a good indication for us to get a nice nap :p.

I used to believe babies just came out of a womans stomach, that nothing opened or closed they just appeared if the woman groaned hard enough.
I also used to believe that the bogeyman was your own personal bodyguard at night, and that all of the ones in the cities were evil, but mine protected me. The ones out in the country and stuff were good.
Also, every song played on the radio was a live performance in the studio.
