Childhood Misconceptions

[Blue]

I believed that electricity was alive... Because it felt like something biting me when I stuck my finger in a bulb socket.

I believed that a magnatron could be used in reverse to generate electricity from solar radiation. This was a very dangerous thing, but luckily I did not wire it right.

I believed that if I wired a bunch of nails together, put that in one side of the socket, and then wired a metal pan to the other side of the socket, that I could make the nails dance. Sadly, no it just makes the breakers trip. Damn modern safety compliance.

thats about all I can remember for tonight...lol

Also, Blue, I thought you grew up in Alabama, where'd you get your hands on all this stuff?

The garage, my grandfathers garage... my uncles... and I always asked to go to radio shack for my birthdays/Christmas...

...that was when radio shack was still cool, and not all about selling cell phones.

Wait a second, how come stuff doesn't censor itself for me?

Also, I could see how your dad would be very amused with you.

you should see the contraptions he has in his garage... they take up most of the garage... None of them work, but they are amazing to look at

Christ, Blue, you're a Roald Dahl character come to life.

...When I was your age, I was doodling with Kid Pix and writing stories with SimpleText on some Mac 512s.

Me too, only substitute MS Word for SimpleText. Kid Pix was da bomb.

Blue's childhood sounds awesome

...that I could jump off a small building with two umbrellas, and survive unscathed.

When I was 8 I thought the genitalia just had to rub, insertion never crossed my mind for a second.

Also once on Sinterklaas when I was like 5 (or younger, it was at our old house) I couldn't find any candy anywhere. When I finally looked in my dad's home office and saw it all in the fax machine, I though Sinterklaas had faxed me all the candy.

I told this to everybody at school and my teacher was like "No... no I don't think that can happen". Bitch.

Now that's plain I'm a edgy teen.

When I was 4 I used to think 1+1=11, 3+2=32 etc.

There were also more embarrassing things I'd rather not talk about.

I thought girls had periods and boys had commas...

I thought toy story was possible

I thought the theme from the original law and order was evil for some reason.

I tried cooking toast in my NES....

my idea of santas always watching led me to believe that anything with eyes was how he was spying on me.. Stuffed animals, pictures, etc.

I thought I was an aspiring inventor just because I used to take scotch tape and tape my toys together to make new toys...


....My childhood was weird as hell now that I think about it..

You and your family are too smart to be from Alabama, Blue. Where the fuck y'all from, boy.

I used to think that black people were made black by ritual; I thought that their parents dipped them into a vat of motor oil shortly after birth. I used to hang out with a large group of black people because I thought the reduced friction would increase their agility, and that's awesome. They always agreed with me if that misconception ever came up, because it made sense to them since their color was often explained as "oil in the skin". I held this belief until fourth grade when I learned about melanocytes. I didn't correct any of my friends because I thought knowing things that others didn't gave me an edge.

I thought each video game was a world.

I used to think that the vagina is a ballsack-shaped piece of purple meat that just hanged between the legs.

In Germany there was this toy shop with a printed image of a clown in front.
I thought each fall he would come alive and hunt me.

I was thinking of myself as a child doctor.

I thought I had 3 game show assistant women for whenever I needed them.

I thought I could get stronger if I could hold my hands on a sun heated rail longer and longer.

I thought plastic freezer containers blew up if I dropped them.
