I had a friend when I was younger who told me your tailbone was there because all people are born with tails, but they chop it off at the hospital before you come home. I asked my parents later that night if all humans once had a tail, and I guess they thought I meant millions of years ago so they told me humans did have tails at one point. I went around for years believing I once had a furry tail.
