h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I actually believed that Dame Edna was a woman. I said to my mum "does she dress like that in real life?".

That really is sad! I'm glad you've managed to work it out

I used to believe in Santa Clause, but then who didn't as a kid?

I thought Maggie Thatcher was Queen... but then so did she!

i used to baleve that my perants knew best just befuse thay where perants,

I really believed that cacao was pronounced "kak-a-o" and if you're not German you can't even comprehend how emberassing that is...

I also believed that if you would fall from a very high building or something and you would stand on a table while falling that if you'd jump up in the last moment before colliding with the floor that you would just land on the table as if you'd jump up on the table in your living room.

Methos

I used to believe that could see through things.
I used to believe that washing machines chewed the clothes to get the juice out of them.
I used to see the numbers and letters in my schoolwork as cartoon characters who were involved in some energetic antics. Each word and equation told a story that I had to decipher.

I used to believe that poop was dirt and meat and vegetables were flavored dirt that we just sucked the juice out of and the poop was like gum after you're done with it.

I used to believe that my brother was attached to me as some sort of punishment for something that I didn't even know was wrong when I did it.

When I was 22, I learned that he was born because my mom didn't get her diaphragm refitted after I was born... That explained a lot.
I promptly called him.

Hey, I like the thing with the dirt. And obviously you've also fallen victim to the little breakdown of the server just now...

Methos

uh.... yeah!
That's what happened!

Liar,liar,pants on fire.

I used to believe that if you pulled a face and the wind changed directions, you'd be stuck with it for the rest of your life!

I also believed in the "toilet Monster", I use to stand on one leg and flush it with my foot, giving me a headstart down the hallway!!

I thought that clouds were made of dust blown up from the street, and when people died on telly, they really died, and I couldn't understand how they had cameras to film Spartacus 2000 years ago...

I believed you could find babies under gooseberry bushes..

And I used to believe that if you were good, good things would happen to you.....

>>And I used to believe that if you were good, good things would happen to you.....<<

That one dies hard, doesn't it?

JEllen

Nah, that one faded pretty quickly for me...

i dont know if any of you live in australia, but we just had the melbourne international comedy festival and the one person came up and talked about things like that, how his mom used to say if u make faces your face will stay that way. and he said how you never see a docter say to a kid, "sorry you got terminal blood poisinging from writing on your hand" "and you, running with scicsors" "and you, went swiming within 30 mintues of eating

I often ponder the parent/child gap.
All parents were once children, weren't they?

I didn't know this as a kid.

*raises hand* another one who had to get to the bottom of the stairs before the toilet finished flushing

I believed the dent in my Dad's radio was because someone shot it (he used to take it on exercise when he was in the army)

Who else believed that if you swallowed chewing gum it would stick on your heart and you would die? Still can't swallow the stuff, and if I do accidentally I have a full blown panic attack

i thought it was that it got stuck to your lungs, and i believe there was one case of that actually happening
