I for the longest time thought that Narwhals were complete fiction... no different than a unicorn. I thought someone with photoshop had the bright idea one day to put a unicorn horn on a walrus...... I'm still not fully convinced they are real even after watching a nature documentary on them.


I mean look at these things.....WTF

When I was a pre-teen, I used to believe that NFL Helments were as heavy as motorcycle helmets.

I used to believe that Mid-South Wrestling was real and that Wrestlemania One was as real as the Super Bowl. I bought a newspaper the day after expecting the results of WM1.

I used to believe that Pro and college games were fixed before hand.

One day my dad told me he could get me a job at a mcDonalds store. I thought he meant a McDonald’s grocery store...lol. He was referring to a restaurant as a store.

Yep, they built the Panama Canal through an island.


Probably until my mid teens, I thought Panama Beach was in Panama.

I thought when someone "paid cash" for something, they literally paid with paper bills. If someone told me they paid cash for a new car or house, I assumed they just showed up with duffel bags of cash.


Tbh I thought this as well up until about 4 or 5 years ago. In college when I went to buy a car. I basically had 2800 on my card ready to buy whatever I could get at the used lot.

The salesman told me all the cars were cash only, no financing. When I responded I only have a card, is there an ATM nearby, the guy nearly fell out laughing.

Up until about age 22 or 23, I used to believe that once women get pregnant than they no longer have their periods.

One day I got frustrated with my bank, closed my accounts, and requested all my money to bring it to one down the road.

I was fully expecting them to give me a sack of cash. They wrote a check

When I was 9. I thought the little pieces of onion on a McDonald’s burger was rice.

Similarly, i thought girls were like characters in romantic comedies where they just want guys to be nice and sweet to them. Took way too long to learn that being a dick got me laid and being nice just got me trampled on.


Fairy tales where the prince rescues the princess and they ride off in to the sunset and live happily ever after ...

Those stories were not written by women

"Dated" a lady once and believed the old "getting divorced and we are separated" story until the husband called. That's not a fun phone call.

I was genuinely confused about how Skip Carey knew the hometowns of people who caught foul balls at Braves games until I was like 20 years old. I specifically remember watching a game and finally thinking "oh. he's just making it up."


I was 38 when someone told me this (as in you today)

My wife asked me how the wood logs in our gas and flueless fireplace don't burn up in the flames.

She thought the fake wood logs that sat in the fire for hours at a time were real wood that somehow were impervious to fire.

49 years old and I could not be more embarrassed to recently learn there are like 74,122,605 citizens of the United States of America with such high levels of blind fanaticism and idiocy. Thankfully though, I do take some solace in the fact that 81,029,173 are able to recognize a bunch of phoney malarkey when they see it.

that jet fuel melts steel beams.



It's not the jet fuel that burns the beams. It's the heat produced by the fuel and other combustibles burning that compromise the beams and causes them to fail.

I heard so many of the conspiracy theorists that were hanging their hat on the nonsense that jet fuel/steel beams nonsense that I wanted to slap each and every one of them for not understanding basic structural loads and the adverse effect fire can have on them.

When I was a kid I thought I could run faster if I wore brand new tennis shoes. I'm 54.
