When i was younger i asked my mum where all the water in a toilet came from, and she told me it all came from the sea, i thought she literally meant that, and every time i had to do a number two, i would have both my legs and both my hands on the toilet seat raising as high as i could go, just so if a crab of shark came up the pipes it wouldn't pinch (crab) or eat (shark) me!!!
looking back at it i feel like a huge idiot!!!
