Conversely, i honestly though House of Pain were black until i was about 19.

I used to get worried that I was actually just an inanimate object like a postbox or a tree. And I was about to wake up any second from a dream where I was a person and inanimate objects couldn't have dreams...

Up until i watched the making of-documentary of March of the Penguins i thought they were about the same size as an adult human..

Also used to have a similar thought but, instead of being a postbox or a tree, I was a caveman and I'd been dreaming of a whole fantasy world with shit like cars and cigarettes and EAF and shops. And it worried me that when I woke up I'd have to try and go about inventing the world from scratch with my caveman friends and I'd be all panicking like "shit, where do I start, okay, guys, we need to invent a wheel, it looks like this. And we need to make fire like this and then we need to..." oh shit, they don't understand me, I need to invent a proper language first...

Now I'm a bit more cynical I'd probably just wake up and prefer to leave things the way they were.

I used to thing that a cobra snake would come into my bed and bite me at night but if I wore slipper-socks it would protect my feet somehow....

Just seemed logical at that age because there weren't any old videos with color and the quality of those videos getting better and better proves the whole 'slowly introduction' of colors.

Haha I used to believe the exact same thing... And that black people stayed too long under the sun... I'm so dumb

Thought there were tiny actors in VHS tapes

After watching some kind of documentary that was way beyond my years, I thought that the sole result of sexual intercourse was that women caught aids.

I used to walk around places looking for women with bumps and asking my mam if they had aids.

Haha I think this every now and again as well

I used to think/wonder/imagine that everything was a part of a dream I was having. Nothin really existed in this world because it wasn't reality and I was the only person that actually existed - in a different (non-dream) reality.

Evangelink · 2012-02-29, 14:51:22

^ To be honest, sometimes I feel like that now.

I used to think Carl Cox was white.

oh dont get me started on music related misbeliefs.

Roland Daggett · 2012-03-01, 02:34:14

I used to think Michael Jackson was Michael Jordan.

Used to think that m&ms and smarties coating was made from beetle shells

When I was rly rly young and I had no idea what sex was, and thought it was an inappropriate word, and that I would get in trouble for saying it. So one day I saw a magazine that said homosexual across the title, and thinking I was being clever because it said sex in the word; I asked my mother what it meant.

So for a point in time when I was younger, I thought sex was "when a man loves another man".

My friends straightened me out pretty fast on that one...

rickman · 2012-03-01, 17:04:47

On a similar note I thought a blow job was something that happens when getting your eyes tested. When my dad had to get his eyes checked he came out and I asked if he got a blow job, in a waiting room full of people.

As above, my friends straightened me out pretty fast on that one.

IamHoax · 2012-03-01, 17:14:59

ahahaha Rickman, that gave me quite the chuckle.

Also, just came across this on Stumbleupon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_com...onceptions
