Stupidest things you thought were facts...

I thought that Sherlock Holmes was a real person. As in he was a real person who lived in the past and solved crimes.
I feel so stupid every time I think about how I thought that was fact.

A friend of mine thought that dragons were a type of dinosaur.

I thought Milan was in Spain.

Mohammed Ali was a president (not American...if that helps)

Didn't know Bob Marley was dead

I too am guilty of thinking that Sherlock Holmes was a real man. :')

I once was told that dragonflies lived for just a day, and I believed it. I was so idiotic.

Yes, there is I guess. But if you have sufficient Vitamin A then it doesn't make you see better :frown:

I used to force myself to eat carrots when I was small 'cause my Mum said they were good for you.

Depends on whether you mean naturally, or if you mean once I've pinned them down, and forced glasses onto them...

Well I know that my brother when he was little thought that the moon followed him, don't know why he thought he was so special that the moon would specifically follow him.

Are you joking? Eskimos are real.
When I was younger I thought that an echo was someone who has hiding and being mischievous by copying everything you said.

As a counterexample, fish have no access to carrots whatsoever. Have you ever seen a fish wearing glasses?
