Most mind numbingly stupid thing you believed?

[OriginalError]

When I was really young, I thought sex was french kissing, and that condoms worked kind of like bubble gum and you coated your tongue with it.

I'm not really sure where I got that idea, exactly.

PS. I almost forgot! I thought veterans day was veterinarians day!

 

[Frequen-Z]

I used to think Jean Paul Gatier invented the jpg.

 

[GooBeyond]

-Earth was a good place.

-Girls had penises
[sub]maybe a saw some tranny, i can't remember ._. [/sub]

When people sleep together they make babies.

Also, French Fries are french.

When I was a kid I used to believe that people in the old days actually were Black and White.

This. I used to ask, 'why are we in colour now, but they were in black and white?' My dad went along with it too... said they invented a colour machine. Mum told me it was just because they didn't have colour cameras back then.

Hahaha me too. I remember asking that very question and my dad lied to me like that.

Also, I thought that if you ate apple seeds, a hedgehog grew inside your belly.

And another thing, I thought there was quicksand everywhere. Does quicksand even exist in the UK?

 

[Thrashgrinder]

I thought i could stand on clouds.

I can't think of anyting that I believed right now, but once I did convince my friend that there was an animal named "Drop Bears" Then hide up in tree's and jump down on people, crush their skulls and then eat all their brains.

And the only way to repel them is to pour urine over yourself.

You mean kinda like this?

http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Drop_bear

"A drop bear (or dropbear) is a non-existent Australian marsupial. Drop bears are commonly said to be unusually large, vicious, carnivorous koalas that inhabit treetops and attack their prey by dropping onto their heads from above. They are an example of local lore intended to frighten and confuse outsiders and amuse locals, similar to the jackalope, hoop snake, wild haggis or a snipe hunt.

It is often suggested that doing ridiculous things like having forks in the hair or Vegemite
Vegemite or toothpaste spread behind the ears will deter the creatures."

Surprisingly many people fall for stuff like that. Just be convincing enough and you make almost anyone believe almost anything.

Aw man I am definatly going to use that on my freinds tomorrow!

O.T.: When I was like 3-4 I thought that people on tv could see me while I was watching them but they just didnt comment about anything I did except on commercials.

One of my friends had me wholeheartedly convinced that Vegeta and Missingno were out to kill me.

I really liked popular music, and I thought it was the best. I also thought that metal was one style of music and all it involve was screaming. Clearly, I was an idiot.

This. It's okay, I was an idiot too. Let us bask in the scorching fires of metal forgiveness.

dear friends, let us Growl in unison, for all is forgiven.

That Noah's Ark was a literal story. That is the most singular stupid thing I believed, in part due to what believing that implied.

I do not mean to offend anyone. It's just that the story makes no sense whatsoever.

Yeah when I found out "Fourty days and Fourty nights" mean it lasted as long as it did. Since people had trouble counting past ten, and it was a big number for them in the day. Once I picked out a lot of the terms of the day were not literal translations of time the whole book fell apart.

Adam and Eve...ok two people populated the earth. Lot of Incest going on there...

There is quicksand in the UK, yes. I've lost my shoes and narrowly missed losing my dog to the flaming stuff.

OP: I remember when my parents told me to stay away from strange men offering me sweets, I thought it was because the sweets were poisoned.

My parents also played with my head at Christmas. They used to say that Father Christmas could see me through a camera in the smoke alarm, and when the little light was on, he was looking to see if I was being good. I walked around on tenterhooks for weeks.

I watched a documentary one time on reptiles that mentioned a Native American belief that the sky was held up by a giant tortoise. My six year old brain took this idea and ran with it.

I'm going to say Bill's secret Garden in Pokemon Red where you could catch Charmanders and Squirtles.

 

[Sovvolf]

I used to think girls didn't pee... because they had no penis, that children came out of the arse, that the people in the T.V were real and could see me and that shop keepers were all robots put on earth to serve me by selling me goods... yeah lol... I had a vivid imagination.

Yes and this, along with thinking you could get a Mew through using surf before getting on the S.S Anne.

I always thought that darker urine was better, because that meant I was getting rid of more waste. I also never drank water, so I was one dehydrated little tyke.

 

[ddon]

I thought that the earth just went on forever. Now I am surprised that I didn't realize what it looked like even though I have a globe in my house. I also thought woman got pregnent by having a man sleep next to them. My parents were really honest so they didn't tell me any lies like about the stork.

 

[Sjakie]

As a kid i thought that if you dug a hole deep enough into the earth you would find hell (and china) and that Heaven was actually on a cloud somewhere.
Women shitting out babies is also one of those things.

When i was 7 i believed my dick twin friends when they said they had The Sims 18. It was a magical game where you could kill other sims get guns and see loadsa sex. Oh well you can always hope.

This except with Medievil 3. Oh i was so naive. God I loved Medievil 1 and 2. They were one of my favorite Playstation games.

Might explain the populace of morons these days.
That or the abolishment of natural selection by modern medicine allowed a growing breed of imbeciles to continue to live...
