I used to believe that math was a useful skill in the working world...then I got there and found out that unless you're an accountant, it's pretty much useless.

The cake .... You thought I was going to say it, didn't you?

There were 365 days in a year and 24 hours in a day, both wrong.

Oh wait, I never believed
That doesn't mean that He doesn't exist.

Anyway, I used to believe that police and their cruisers sat behind hills, trees and whatnot, waiting for people to speed by and then catching them. I used to believe that police caught every single speeder on the road.

Edit: changed my example to a more interesting one. xD

Anyway, I used to believe that Santa was the one who brought me presents.
In my heart it is Santa who brings my gifts.

Well I have a strange habit of pronouncing words I haven't heard aloud or didn't make the connection(even though I know they both meant the same thing) in VERY odd ways sometime even for clear words like gratuitous(or gra-chu-us during the development of Gratuitous Space Battles).

Here are some of the ones I can remember:
Ankh(A-nuk)(in this case I knew what word it was, it just always came out like that... until that day I said it in history -_-)
whore(only because I was being goofy and wanted to try and work the w in some how, also during school but only one of my friends could hear me luckily)

There are a bunch of other ones I can't think of, but I hear almost all of them before saying it to someone so I rarely get caught saying the wrong thing. =-)

I used to believe that I could figure out pretty much everyone (motivations, actions, thought processes, etc). Then I got into college and learned that you just can't understand some people.

For awhile I thought Texas wasn't part of the US.

Boy did I fell so retarded when I found out the truth.
Haha I'm from Texas, and we like to think of ourselves as from our own country, so don't lump us in with the rest of America.

Oh wait, I never believed that.

Oh snap!
You've already been beaten to it.

If people could stop attacking other people's beliefs, that would be great.
