I Used To Believe newsletter: July 2005
Hi,
Everyone's a bit morbid this month - we advise you to avoid mosquitoes and not to build pyramids. Don't forget the tin opener if you're going to a funeral, or the hair dye if it's your own. Check the website at http://www.iusedtobelieve.com for more!
Have fun,
Mat.

I once stole my great grandmother's dentures and hid them under my pillow. The tooth fairy left a note saying "Don't try to trick me again or I'll take the teeth right out of your mouth!" Every time I lost a tooth after that I left a note saying "It's real!"

I didn't realize that 'K-I-S-S-I-N-G-' in the 'sitting in a tree' song spelled kissing until a year ago. I thought they just put a couple of letters together to make the song longer.
