nature

I used to believe that all planets have the same:

1. gravitational force
2. air pressure
3. temparature range
4. air composition
5. period of rotation
6. period of revolution around its star

as earth.

i used to think when lightining hit the earth that god got angry and killed someone and when thunder clashed that he farted.

because the tree's branches looked like roots,
I used to think that in the winter the "otherworld" underground had a strange summer! something to do with a alter-world. TOO many science fiction no doubt!

i used to think that clouds where reallt soft and sturdy so that you couls stand on them and when in first grade my teacher asked what my greatest wish was...well it was touching a cloud!

When I was a child I was told if I smell red-weed flower and put it very near my eyes I would go blind. And I still believe that. Never smell those flowers, even I like them .. just in case :)

I used to believe that there really was a man in the moon named Tigger and the stars were all his friends. I even used to smile and say goodnight to him through my window before I went to bed at night.

There is a factory in my town that emitts a lot of white steam. Everytime my family would drive by, my sister and I would exclaim "Look! It's the cloud factory!" We really believed that the factory made clouds.

I used to believe that the thunder and lightning were angels bowling. Why did I think that? I don't know. That's the way it was.

My friend told me that he asked his brother where hills came from, and he told them that hills were buried dead whales! Everytime I see a hill now I think of a whale.

I thought Weathermen said "Windshield temperature" not "Wind-chill temperature" on those cold bitter days, and was convinced this was the temperature of the air when traveling down the road.

As a child I once went to Atlantic City with my parents. I didn't speak English very well back then but I liked to watch the news with them at night. The news were constantly referring to this Bob Hurricane, whom I assumed was the U.S.'most famous reporter. I was quite annoyed that they were always talking about that guy. The next day, the hurricane arrived and I understood at last :)

I used to think that the barrels of hay you see in fields were actually barrels of beer. I would scream out from the backseat of the car, "Look at all them beer barrels!"

When I was younger when i was travling at night, I used to think that the moon followed me, not realising that you could see the moon from a lot of different locations at the same time.

--I thought that, at night, a giant black blanket was thrown over the top of the world (which I believed was like a snow globe dome) and that the stars were little pin point sized holes someone poked in.

A very early misconception, I thought the ocean floor was made of some kind of plastic grating I could fall through, which needless to say, kept me out of the ocean... I'm not sure where I got that from but I do have older brothers

My grandfather and I planted a tree. It was only a few inches high, and he told me that if I were to jump over it every day, that I would always be able to jump over it. The important part was to NEVER miss a day, or the whole cause would be lost. Not only did I believe- but I actually jump over it every day for several months!
