    When I was young, I was fascinated by space. I still am, actually...

    I'm sure you've all seen documentaries about space where they show computer generated simulations of a planet's surface. They almost always have some eerie, haunting music in the background to support the atmosphere of the graphics. When I was a kid, I thought the music was part of the simulation. Yep, I believed that there was constant ambient background music in space.

    Damn you, BBC!

    I believed that if you pulled a funny face and the wind changed... that your face stayed like that :eek:


    I also believed if you picked your nose your brain would fall out :(

    That's true. My brain fell out when I was 7, and I haven't looked back since.

    Well i dont remember if i beleived it but you know the grassy hills alongside motorways that always have sheep on them??

    well my daddy used to say that the sheep had two legs shorter so as they could stand up straight on the hill all day... and i said "but then what if they want to get behind them?" and he said that they just walked round and round the hill :)

    and another one: i believed that when you get married you come to church in your wedding dress and then there is a queue of like 10 to 20 men (also ready dressed for marriage) with a number they have to hold up and then you choose one ;) i was always worried that i wouldn't like any of them...

    haha cute ^.^

    my dad told me that powdered/shreded parmesan cheese came from the 'foot scrappings' of old people. i kinda thought it might be possable for a few years.

    i thought if water got into my ears it would pop my ear drums and get into my head[​IMG]

    one day, around halloween, the local news station simulated a 'war of the worlds' type hoax show saying that aliens had come to earth and that they were invading and people were buying shotguns and stuff... my dad told me to come watch and told me that it was true. he played along too. i believed for about a half hour with excitement and anxiety that aliens were invading.

    I used to think my mum and dad where always right... *BOY* was I rong, not that I don't love em or enything.

    I honistly used to think that insects and spiders and slugs and snails could talk, but thay where very shy and thay where very hard to lisen to because thay where so small. I even used to talk to them! I still like to think that animals can understand more than we think when we speek to them.

    I still try to keep some chiled like nievaty in life because there is nothing more fun then to lern stuff by poking things and getting all mucky!

    my parents always used to tell me of a guy named wee willie winkie (dodgy or what??) who lived in the woods behind our house and he would come and visit me at night time and tell me off if i hadn't gone to sleep. i believed in him for years. there was an old abandonned house at the top of our road and they used to tell me that was where he lived.

    i think the idea was to get me to go to sleep without giving them any hassle, but it had the opposite effect coz i used to lay awake in bed absoloutly terrified coz i was convinced i could hear his footsteps in the woods!!!!

    peace and love

    you know I still kinda think this :& I know it's not true but at the same time I still wouldn't dare eat an apple pip just in case...

    I dare eat sunflower / pumkin and poppy seeds though... Pah! I make no sense at all :&
