lol, when I learned it was true it was kind of odd. I used to have dreams of jumping out of airplanes, landing in the middle of the Pacific, and swimming to Hawaii. Then once I learned, nightmares started occuring and Satan would push me instead, causing me to fall to my death.

Not true. You could be knocked unconcious as you impact the surface of the water and drown. Or you could be eaten by sharks once you're in the water.

Or what if you fall off a building and land in a 1/2 inch deep puddle?

This is a topic of things you used to believe and no longer do, correct? The title would imply that.

Says things you found out later than you should have. You never said if this is your opinion now, or was your opinion before you learned the truth.

I think it is safe IF you break the surface tesion and the water is deep enough for the height you are falling from. But what happens after you hit the water and survive is up in the air.

up until not long ago I thought the short version of et cetera was "ect" instead of etc and that somehow et cetera was pronounced "ex-cetera" Completely blew my mind that I had spelled it "ect" for all this time. Also lee-way and not lead-way. Dose teachers shured learn-ned me gud.

Add your own, please only add in things that are true.

It depends on the car, I guess.

Depressing the button in my Dad's Camry turns it on.

I learned that cling peachs are a variety of peach not what those wedge shaped pieces of canned peachs are called. I figured that canned peachs came in three states of preparation: whole, half, and clings. I was about 30 when I learned that.

That your SAT score does matter. My fruity VT HS teachers made it sound worhtless. Nobody told me.

I suck at standardized tests so my 1190/1600 was not enough to get in some schools that wanted 1200 minimum. Plus you get more money with a higher score.

Also, that the way to play pro ball is to go to school with a D1 football team. Why did I want to be an engineer so badly? A big crazy guy like me could have made some aspect of the NFL, if only practice squad.

I learned a lot about the world after leaving the isolated mountain life of VT. Now I came back for peace.

I understood much too late why my mother would lose her head every 28 days or so.... knowing that when I was a kid would have saved me some grief.
