When I was playing a video game and I kept dying in the same spot, I thought there was a disgruntled video game designer who had made the game un-winnable on purpose as some kind of sick joke on us innocent kids.

I used to imagine the human vagina was shaped like a perfect letter O, and that women weren't born with it; rather, it opened up at some point in puberty where there was previously a smooth flap of skin.

That eating a bunch of hot wings really fast would impress girls.

Too busy to look it up, but I believe that one of the NBA Jam creators hated the Bulls so much that at certain points of the game if the game was close, they would miss their shots. Funny considering that most of the NBA Jam creators were from Chicago, but.

As a Little Leaguer, when I pitched in tense moments, I used to think that some higher power would "lift" me to victory because "it" liked me more. There are professional athletes who still believe this.

Well, I was pretty good... I suppose it is the only logical explanation... It's settled... God loves me more than everyone else and is a huge Little League fan.

That it was your parents putting gifts under the tree and not Santa. That was a long time ago.

My sister was about 8 years old when I made her believe that tennis balls bounced because of peer pressure.

I thought I was going to play baseball. Never really developed any type of skill to play, and never had anyone push me to work at it. I wanted to make the team, if for anything, because the Von Steuben jerseys had the players last name on the back, which was a big deal back in the day. I'm sure just about every team does it now in some form.

When my sister would watch me and I would act up she would always threaten to fill out 1 of the military cards in the magazines. I always believed that she was going to send it in and I would have to go away. :oops:
