What the hooey! I still believe most of these things because they are true!

Next, you'll be telling me that there's no such person as Santa Claus and that God doesn't exist.

But I will not believe that George W Bush is President of the USA. I know it's just some kind of weird virtual reality show that you yanks are running. We know that you have adopted the Osbornes as your real 1st family.

Here are a couple of my favorite facts from the site:

believed that if you looked reeeeealy close at an LP, you would see the words and music printed in the groove, and that the needle read it and played it as music somehow.
True, if you can read the language. I know someone who can listen to a modem and tell you what's being transmitted.

We were told - in the mid 60s when the new 10 speed "English Racer" bikes came to America - that you had to perform some complicated 'back pedal' manuever to get it to shift. and that it was impossible to master unless you were British and an expert biker.
True, you Americans have never seen our really special advanced racing bikes, because you would never be able to ride them properly.

When I was small, I believed that if you ran the hoover over the power cord, or if you didn't keep the machine moving at all times, it would explode.
True, this fact was the inspiration for the film Speed.

I believed that all swear words were modern inventions and that someone sat in an office creating them, just like someone else who created jokes, *all* of them
Definitely True, my dad works for Walls Ice Cream who print jokes on their lolly sticks. He used to know the man who invented the jokes that were printed onto the sticks.
