This isn't actually my belief, but my brother in law's. We were watching something on the Discovery channel one night, and apparently it had something to do with sloths. So of course they had footage of the sloth eating and swimming and hanging on a tree branch. Well, my brother in law came down stairs and was like "What kind of animal is that?"
"A sloth," I replied.
"No way," he responded, "Nu uh! Are you serious?"
"Yes, and they're so slow that they have slime growing on their fur."
"Wow. I thought sloth was just something they made up in the Bible when they were talking about lazy people."
(Note: he's like 15 years older than me...)
