I used to believe my computer monitor had a van inside. This started because I asked my dad what made the whirring noise. He said it had a fan... I said "Really? A real van?", "Yes." I was convinced for nearly ten years that computers had nothing except a little blue van in them. It never occured to me to ask what it was for.
