Most mind numbingly stupid thing you believed?

[TheGreenManalishi]

That Phantom Menace was cool, Jar-Jar was funny, and Amidala was hot.

 

[GrinningManiac]

I used to think that jokes I said weren't funny unless I claimed credit for them

I'd often start jokes like this:

"Have you seen Fawlty Towers (example"
"No"
"Awesome...anyway, I just made up a joke...[Fawlty joke here]"

Also, I thought that when you had 'insemination', it was pee

And I mispronounced a LOT of words, including 'Cleopatra', though I can't remember HOW I pronounced it

 

[[Cold-Shoulder]]

When I was at a young age I thought you could grow back your limbs like some lizards when they lose their tale, I got the idea from a nature documentary but was soon corrected by my father.

 

[infested]

Lets seee....
Girls was pronounced like Grills the teletubbies lived in the local landfill.
if you opened the folder "my computer" you now owned it.
looking at porno made ur head explode (half right)
lying over teh interwebs made a monster come out of the screen and eat you
hmmm.That guy with the van actually had candy
you got pregnant from toilet seats.
everyone in australia had boomarangs and a pet kangaroo
ppl in britain used flying umbrellas as a means of transportation.
-edit- oh yeah and "breaking news" meant if u didnt watch youd have your arms broken

When i was little there was a commercial with some skydivers enjoying delicious pâté after they landed, after which i believed you could fly if you ate enough of the stuff, or had some in your pockets. When i asked her, my mom even told me i can fly if i eat everything on my plate.

I believed singers appearing with multiple outfits in music videos really changed their clothes so fast that cameras weren't unable to catch it.

And also, i believed that you can just ask anyone on the street to marry you when you want to, and they have to say yes.

I thought that if you swallowed an apple seed, it would fertilise itself and grow out your neck.

Also, that people were inherently good and kind.

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

When I was really really small, I believed that babies come from kissing.
Stupid, I know.

 

[azukar]

That batteries weren't flat until they were physically, literally, flat. My household went through a brief but probably very frustrating stage in which dead batteries reappeared everywhere, rescued from the bin by me because "they're not flat yet!"

 

[Hazy]

My friends convinced me at one point that there was a version of Celebrity Deathmatch where celebrities fought against pokemon.

Heh. Small world.
I was told, more or less, the same thing. Only difference is that it involved Digimon as well.

On the same note, I thought this piece of shit [http://a.picr.us/images/mtvcelebri.jpg] was actually really good.

 

[snow]

I used to believe that we were all NPC's in a video game... I was really young at that time so I got over that after a while, but I was scared shitless when the first Sims game came out. xD

 

[manic_depressive13]

I used to think mummy loved me. D=

Apart from that, my grandparents managed to convince me when I was young that if I walked around indoors barefoot (without my slippers on) I would immediately catch a cold. I think the worst bit is that they believed it.

 

[Photon_Man62]

I used to believe that doctors were capable of resurrecting people. This may be related to why I'm not Christian.

This may be related to why I'm not Christian.

Wait, what?

 

[hewhosaysfish]

I thought that if you swallowed an apple seed, it would fertilise itself and grow out your neck.

When I was a kid I read (or was read, I don't quite remember) a story about a little boy who didn't brush his teeth, some bramble seeds that got stuck in his teeth and started to grow and he ended up with bramble bushes growing out of his mouth.
And suddenly I was very enthusiatic about dental hygiene.

 

[No-Superman10]

I once tried to call an ambulance after my dad claimed that "the tv has died"

I also used to just say whatever little thing came into my head regardless of who was nearby or if they would be offended.

 

[Dexiro]

I just thought of an obscure one.
There used to be these bike racks near my house and i was convinced that they were levers that controlled the weather.

 

[probunk]

Liberalism.

 

[cuddly_tomato]

I used to believe in aliens and spaceships on other planets and stuff.

 

[Sebenko]

I used to think that the levers to move the seats on a coach were emergency brakes.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

I believed you had to have long hair to catch pneumonia.

Charlie Brown lied to me!
