When I was young my cousins told me that when you had an ear ache, it was because there was an earwig inside of your ear. I had always had problems with my ears, and still do, so that scared me. Especially when one of my youngers brothers friends actually HAD had one in their ear as a baby.

I'm still scared of earwigs to this day, although I know they are not in my ears!

I used to believe that "spare ribs" were extra bones that weren't medically necessary, and could be removed like an appendix or spleen. This belief was bolstered by an urban legend about Marilyn Manson having some lower ribs removed, that I heard later in life.

This belief was debunked, last month, by my fiancee. I'm 29.

I use to believe that you always had to swallow your saliva in your mouth every 8 seconds or so. I found out when I was 7 that you didn't when I watched an interesting show on TV. I was so engrossed that I forgot to swallow and actually thought I would die.

Now I'm in 6th grade! Same school,and now I've got an IQ of 158! I know about the whole body now!

I use to think small alagators lived inside me and were me, or just about. I thought whenever I got the hickups they were ringing a bell, whenever my arms or legs fell asleep I thought ants were running around in me, and whenever I was hungry, they were getting mad because they were hungry! Weird, huh?
