When I was 5, I really wanted to have a pet mouse. My parents wouldn't buy me one, so I constructed many different kids of 'mouse traps', hoping to catch a mouse and keep it as a pet.

One of the mouse traps involved a circle being drawn on the ground that the mouse had to stay inside until I could come get it in the morning. I wondered how I would get the mouse to stay there. My older brother suggested writing a message on the ground which said "stay here", but I said it wouldn't work - we had to write it in 'mouse language'. I then tried to figure out what "stay here" would be written like in mouse language.

I used to believe that horse's penis is so big 24/7, not only while in erection, so every time I saw horse without long member hanging under belly, I was convinced it was mare!

Growing up, I was never allowed to have an inside pet.. But my stepdad was an avid hunter and we had lots of mounted heads and taxidermied animals in our house.. I believed they were my pets.. I would name them and pet them and talk to them all the time.. Let this be a lesson to all parents... Get your kid a pet..

A friend of a friend firmly believes that 'walrus' rhymes with 'cactus,' and since a cactus lives in a desert, a walrus must also live in the desert. She also believes Japan is the capital of Russia. She's in her 20's.

Ever since I was four, I would go into the woods around my house to look for unicorns every so often. No luck, of course. I carried the tradition over to our new house when we moved here when I was seven. I'm 12 now and I still think that I saw a flash of white and a glint of gold when taking a walk in the forest when I was 10...

I used to believe that sheep were called b*st*rds, cos that's all I ever heard my mum and stepdad call them. So I'd be out with people and say "wow, look at all them b*st*rds over there!"

When I was a kid, I got a fake fur coat one Christmas. My dad told me it was my mink coat. So, for a couple of years, I believed that mink was synonymous with polyester. I told my friends this, and they chased me around screaming that I had killed a polyester for my coat.
