When I was little I'd watch the news with my dad and one time he told me that Nasdaq, Dow Jones, and S&P were competing like sports teams and that our favorite team was Nasdaq. I didn't realize this wasn't true until high school. For years afterward, even though I knew this was a complete lie, I'd silently cheer in my head when I saw the Dow Jones lost points out of habit.
