Ok I'm aiming for like age 15 and above here, let's not go back to the Santa Claus days. Here's a few that I once thought to be true:




The Tower of Babel was an actual building that stands to this day.

An undercover cop has to admit his is a cop when asked.

Shaving hair makes it grow back thicker.

Turkey makes you tired.

Pennies, mouthwash, tooth paste, etc. can beat a breathalyzer.





Add on.

My brother told me that if I make a fist for 10 seconds the palm of my hand will smell like my feet.

Then when I smelled my hand he hit my forearm and made me slap myself in the face pretty hard.

It din't even smell like my feet at all.

drinking warm coke gives you worms

treating a lady nice gets you anywhere with her

smoking a square with powder on the tip does something more than just ruin the taste of a good cigarette

"I'll pay you as soon as my check comes in."

The turkey thing is actualy true


For this reason I never cook turkey for thanksgiving again. The stuff would make me feel tired all the time and the next day I felt I had rocks in my stomach







If you put a loose tooth under your pillow, a tooth fairy would leave money, not your parents

There's no doubt that it could make some people tired, but the "tired chemical" thing is bs.


Plus, I know why people think that, it's because we get extremely full and tanked on Thanksgiving.

That women are sane.

SAT scores matter.

Another one for the shaving causing hair to grown in fuller.

Shaving doesn't make hair grow in further? I've taken that to be fact for a long time now.

Fruitless endeavor for me at least. I should have a Kimbo beard at this point, but do not.

It just looks thicker when certain spots are shaved. Like if someone where to shave there uni brow instead of plucking it.

Good thread Shadows. I unfortunately have a lot of these, due to listening to a bunch of alcoholic trailer trash explain the universe to me growing up.


Wrestling is real. I argued that one vehemently with anyone who would listen when i was about 9.

Hoverboards should be coming out next year or so.

Science cannot explain how honeybees fly.

If you take a bullet and hold it between your fingers aiming it towards something, then tap the back with a hammer, BAM low budget gun. I dont know why i had this vision of me running around some battlefield and losing my weapon, but i came up with this to save myself. I even tried to test it out. And when it didnt work i thought the bullets were duds and started trying to slam them into the pavement to get them to go off.

Lol and it wasnt me, but i had a freind who swore he was the goddam dog whisperer or something. We dared him to go into countless yards, and to his credit he did. I think you can tell how this one ends though. Dude got bit so many times by so many different dogs it was awesome. What a rube.

honesty is the best policy
when dealing with women

Floyd will eventually lose

The Detroit Lions are a pro football team.

Yeah. big ass fucking co-sign on this one. My now ex complained I was too quiet and wasn't open and honest enough (not that I was telling lies, I just wasn't always talking about my thoughts and feelings and shit). I made an effort to be more open, honest, direct, etc. Apparently I was supposed to share every thought that was in my head and I did. We broke up shortly thereafter.

drinking Ginger Ale will make your cold go away

Honesty is the best policy

All Vaginas smell the same [talk about a rude awakening]

Dude, I kinda used to think the same thing. I was a huge fan of the Phantasm series growing up and in the first movie the kid makes a perfectly good shotgun out of a hammer, a tack, and a shotgun shell.
I thought it was the coolest thing ever until my dad explained that it was complete bullshit.

Don't get me started on that one. I'll never understand them.

I also believed that hair would grow back thicker if you shaved it.

Riddick Bowe would rule the Heavyweight division for 10 years.

After that, Michael Grant would take over.

Someone told my supervisor that if you put chocolate in the freezer it gets rid of the calories.

Awesome.

And that person is your supervisor

I once believed that putting batteries in a freezer would recharge them

It gives them a few more uses, but it doesn't recharge them.

I guess the hairy palms thing isn't true either...

shit if that were the case most of us would be walking around with braided hands and blind

thas 7-up

That JFK's real killer was in or near the grassy knoll, now it is obvious Oswald was the one and only but I bought into that hype.

I used to believe the Crusaders were the good guys during the Crusades. When you really start reading about, they were pretty much unholy terror to the Muslims. But even then, it's still pretty black and grey.

Believed the Dodgers were only a few years away from being World Champions..... in '95. (Piazza, Karros, Mondesi, Nomo....fuck!)

you get more drunk by mixing drinks

In highschool, I had a naive friend who was told that a man can only ejaculate 100 times. From what he tells me, there were many nights were he would, literaly, be crying from guilt and shame as he would be jacking off. It took a few weeks of this torture until he learned the truth.

When I was a kid, a lot of guys believed wearing tighty whiteys instead of boxers would stunt the growth of your cock. Also, when positioning yourself in your underwear, always point your dick downward instead of upward. I guess gravity helps the dick to grow longer if it's tucked downward.

Of course, I always ran mine down one of my legs and tucked it in one of my ankle socks.

That you couldn't get a girl pregnant if you pulled out.

there's such a thing as refraction time

I used to think all Snapple Facts were true.

King Kong KO15 Godzilla

There's just no way. The lizard would have lit him on fire from several hundred feet away. Talk about your underdogs...I would have bet on Douglas before Kong.


In an era of other great teams like the Giants, Redskins, and 49ers, I thought the '85 Bears were a lock to win multiple Super Bowls.

I think we're all under delusions about history and geopolitics. For example, we just got a piece of reality when it came out that Scotland made a deal with Libya in releasing the Lockerbie bomber. If we knew the truth about all the backroom deals that went down between countries, we'd be shocked.

Running a flame lightly over the tip of a cigarette butt seals off the filter and toxins therein, leaving the smoker much less likely to get cancer in the future.

I see where you're going with this, but look at them. Godzilla was a lizard, but didn't employ classic lizard movement and agility. If he had the classic crawl stance of a gecko or monetor he'd scurry all over Kong and burn his ass with ease. However, he didn't move around like that. He chose to walk on his hind legs, and rather clumsily I might add. So combine his poor footwork with the fact that he can't even turn his neck 12 degrees to the left or right, and it's a huge advantage for King Kong and his brute strength. He was an oversized gorilla, but still moved around like a gorilla. he'd circle around behind Godzilla in .4 seconds and pound his fist into his back scales. Also, Kong has a huge advantage in adrenaline bursts. Kong was always able to reach down deep and roar and tap that extra juice in the later rounds, not that it would even get into waters that deep.

Rodan fucks both of them up though.

Good article on medical myths

I believed a lot of these.

Me too. Especially the dog's mouth being cleaner than ours.

Same with the color of mucus.
