When I was a kid my family was out for a Sunday drive one day and my dad told me the reason the cows we passed could stand on the hillside was because they had two legs that were a lot shorter than the other two. I believed that for years.

I was told that the reason why some cows could walk on hillsides was because the legs on one side of their body were shorter than the other...the person told me notice how they always walk in one direction. Since I only really ever saw cows from a passing car, it made sense to my child logic!
When I was in the 2nd grade, I became really obsessed with dinosaurs and thought that scientists were going to bring them back from the dead. For one reason or another I truly believed that a T-Rex would be assigned to our neighborhood and get all the people by reaching in through the windows and grabbing them as they walked by. I avoided windows till 5th grade.
Up until.... oh, about my sophomore year in college I used to believe that Dachshund was pronounced "Dash hound" and that "Doxon" was just another name for Dash hounds.

I had my sister believing for years that I could communicate with cats in space. My ears used to ring all the time when I was kid. I would put my finger in my ear to stop it. My sister asked me why I did that and I told her I was receiving a communicatiion from the the leader of the space cats. She believed me for years.

I used to think that polar bears lived in the sky on the clouds because people always said, 'Way up there' while pointing up to describe where polar bears are.
Im 12, and no matter what i keep thinking dogs are like really smart, but wont showit, no matter how much rationalization(sp?) i have come down to 2 options:
1. Dogs are as smart as humans, but their vochal cordsaretn developed enough to make normal human speech
2. dogs have an ancient pact with themselves to never talk, and they are really good at upholding it.
^^see, i can think these things up, but i can rationalize that dogs just arent as smart as we are!!!! =\
Well this fourth grader at my school was begging for a chicken egg from my coop. I ask if he had an incubator, he said he would leave it in the sun. I said okay.......and you need water so the embreyo doesnt dry up, he said he had a pool in his yard.....-_-
Well, my friend who is also 13 still believes if you put a chicken egg in the ground a chick will grow, me: ???. I said ur not using MY chicken eggs, because i have a coop of chickens in which by the way are almost better than dogs!
