I thought babies were made when God put a baby inside a woman as she walks down the aisle. I didn't realize that it was physically possible to have a baby outside of marriage. Wish I could remember when I figured that one out...

I had a friend think that there was a bear the lived in her stomach. She says that is why her stomach growls. She believed it until she was 15.

My dad told me that if I kept biting my finger nails I would have one grow in the middle of my stomach.

I have also been told the bra one. That if you wear a bra to bed your boobs wont grow.

I had a friend who told me that our bodies have 3 hour sleep cycles, so you would be more rested after sleeping for 6 hours than sleeping for 8. Experience has probably taught her otherwise by now.

An uncle told me that too much masturbation would give me an irregular heartbeat and give me weak eyesight.

At my redneck school, many of my friends parents had told them that eating watermelon seeds would make their toenails curl. Turns out, watermelon seeds are actually good for you: link
