When I was 10 or so, I designed a car that would need no fuel. An electric motor would turn the front wheels, and at the same time turn a generator. Power from the generator would be used to run the motor.

I realized that this car would need some way to accelerate, so I added solar cells on the roof, and a battery which would be charged by the cells.

I tried to make a model version as a side project in 7th grade shop class, but it never got done.

My dreams were dashed when I learned that a generator becomes much harder to turn once you connect an electric load to it.

I think I've got all of you beat.

Until I was about 10 or 11, because I had noticed that married couples all had the same last names, I thought you had to marry someone with the same last name as you. The catch is, I was fully aware that you couldn't marry someone related to you. So I thought you had to find someone who you loved who had the same last name but you weren't related to. I don't have a very common last name so I was a little worried.

I was generally a fairly smart kid...I have no idea why I had this idea in my head for so long.

When I first played FF7 i was told you could say anything you want. (Really you could only select which thing to say on rare occasions) So when I was stuck, I kept on typing "what do I do next?" and stuff (i played on PC)

I also didnt know where barret puts the ammo in his gun/arm. What he got bullets runing through his veins or what?

When I was really small I thought that people with there own TV shows were too stupid to make money a different way, little did I know TV buisness is the way to roll.

Bringing back memories...

When I was 14, I bought my own TRS-80, used, for $650. A friend did the same. We used to make fun of people like you (sorry [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ).

I was a rich little brat as a kid because my parents let my brother and I buy video games on credit, and then put them in their arcade, with us getting half the collection. The games would take about 4 months to pay off using our half, and then we would get all this income for doing nothing. When the game's popularity died off, we would sell it for about 1/10 the purchase price, usually to the one guy who still played it all the time and wanted it for his home.

Although I thought many stupid things myself when I was younger and even still get made fun of by my fiance because of the misconceptions I still buy into, my sister takes the cake...

She was a really picky eater and would only eat chicken, so to get her to eat other things my parents told her everything was chicken, even veetables and steak. She finally caught on when she ate over at a friends house and asked her friend to pass the chicken (steak) and practically got laughed out the door. We still rip on her for it.

Dumb thing I thought until a couple of years ago...
Delaware is a city in Maryland.
