When I was at a young and impressionable age my dad told me that the reason theres wires in the tunnel of the tube train is so that the driver can stop the tube with his arm, that he stuck his arm out the window and grabbed the wire which stopped the train. I only found out about 8 months ago that that was actually a lie. My dad laughed so hard when he realised I had believed him lol.

I thought the nerves in your body were 'special electric cables' I guess they are, but it seems a little stupid cos in gcse biology I tried to explain nerves and got some strange looks when the teacher told me they were cells using impulses :/

Also Holland and Netherlands are two different countries...nope they're the same. Who knew.
I didnt know that!!! :S
Since when? Wow....*feels stupid*
Hah! See im not an idiot! What sort of eejit gives a country two names?!
Some poor child will end up in a class of people talking about the Netherlands and she'll quietly whisper to her not so nice neighbour 'is that near Holland?' and they'll laugh and laugh and not even tell her why and she wont even find out until shes 19 that its the same bloody country!!!
I'm too lazy to edit my posts.... when I was about 6 my parents told me that they were going to get the loft converted so I could have my bedroom there.... I started crying & when they asked what was wrong I said I didn't want to sleep with all the cobwebs!
They laughed - a lot - & my dad still brings it up!

Fun times :)
Holland is technically part of the Netherlands. It's a province within the Netherlands. So they are sort of two different places. In a way.

Whilst I don't believe it, I have told all of my friends that Haggisses have one leg shorter than the other, so they are only able to run around the hill one way, and the hill is where they live. so if you want to catch a Haggis, run around the hill the other way and you will get one because they can not turn around and run the other way.

Most of my friends believed me.
Well clearly your friends don't know much about food because the haggis is the innards of a sheep boiled in it's own intestines with barley and wheat. quite tasty really.
When i saw sheep with marks spray painted on their sides (used so the farmers can identify their flock) i used to think that mark was perminant and that's why most wool garments were dyed various colours, to cover the spray paint.

The worrying thing is, I tell my friends the truth of what a haggis is before I tell them the story. And they still believe me.
When I was younger I thought that to be on tv you had to climb through all the wires and cables at the back of the tv set... Once my mother walked in on me crying because I thought I was too fat to be on tv 'cause I couldn't fit through all the wires (which I completely disemboweled :D).
I thought monsters were going to come out of the toilet at home when I flushed it so I'd flush and run downstairs as fast as possible to stop them getting me. Hehe. Can't remember what age I stopped that.

I thought the same, except I thought that it was ghosts, because the flushing noise sounded how I thought a ghost would!
Good to know I'm not the only one!

I thought swallowing chewing gum would get stuck inside you for life and if you swallowed enough/too many peices in your life they would all stick together and make one big ball that would block your insides and kill you.
My mum told me that one.. :(
My mother also decided to tell me this... probably after I'd swallowed some gum.
