When I was young, I believed that I was born with a penis but it fell off shortly after and I would eventually grow another one.

I used to think that environment was spelt enviroment, no silent n, until I was bout 12 and a teacher at school wrote it on the board one day. I was suprised it was spelt like that.

i did not really believe anything. i did not care if the world was as i saw it or the other way around.

as long as i have lungs and kidneys and a liver and a heart and a brain and every vital aspect of what i need to remain alive, then i will continue to see things.

i just believe what i think mainly. i do not consider other peoples opinions with much curiosity, and i am not addicted to hearing their stories.

i have never believed anything totally.

I think that the only really out-there belief I had was that teachers lived at the schools they worked at. Was pretty stupid back then. :P Didn't really think about much else to have theories about I guess.

The beginning of this song sums it up pretty well:

That the world had two time zones and it was dark on one side of the world and day on the other side of the world.

I still believe that if you have brown eyes then you see everything with a brown tinge. No one seems to get that though.
