Stupid things I thought when I was a kid.

Growing up in Sweden there was lots of skiing to watch. Ingemar Stenmark was kicking ass in slalom so I ended up watching lots of competitions. Until I was eight or so I thought you got scored based on how many flags you knocked down. I could never figure out why the winner had hardly knocked down a single flag.

- That Darth Vader lived in my cousin Brian's basement
- That penguins liked to bowl (again, because of my cousin Brian)
- That my grandparents on my dad's side were nice people
- That if you didn't go to sleep, Santa wouldn't come
- That if you snuck downstairs in the middle of the night, Santa would come back and take all your gifts away
- That the Green Bay Packers would ALWAYS be this bad
- That I'd marry a red-head from Minnesota (only one that ended up being true) [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Heh, up until about 10 I thought that as video's "aged" they became black and white, so the movies out now would be black and white 50 years from now.

Thought I had issues until I discovered OOT - Age 26.

I thought office was pronounced like the two words off and ice and it was called this because it wasn't on ice. (5-6?)

And I also didn't know the KC chief weren't from Kansas until I read this and the 3 hole thing was a surprise to me at 17.

I was also very dissapointed to find out that you had to move to have sex.

When I was growing up all we had was HBO and that crappy softcore porn. Despite numerous hours of watching this crap, I really had no idea how you actually had sex, or how oral sex was administered to a girl .

The first time we got a decent internet connection I went on a porn downloading spree (like all good kids). Needless to say I was shocked and nearly mortified at what "real person sex" looked like. I think I was like 12 or 13 at the time.

I thought when they said a guy had a dislocated shoulder, that they couldn't find where his shoulder bone had gone.
