i used to believe that when i was a kid when i slept with the covers off my legs or arms (especially my feet) that if i fell asleep with them out that little gnomes with butcher knives would come and cut them off. then i thought that they would take my parts to other gnomes and sell them to eat parts of me. Yea i was a weird kid i know i admit it.
