This isn't my own childhood belief, but a good friend of mine's. For some strange reason he developped this belief that if you flew to Australia then the plane turned upside-down, and this would somehow mean that when you got there that gravity would be inverted. He firmly believes that all Australians have to wear magnetic shoes so that they don't fall off the earth, and that some sort of special cling film keeps the sea in place. This friend is now 25 and still firmly believes this, and no matter how much we try and find holes in his theory, he manages to invent a way aorund it.
