When I was a kid, me and a friend stumbled on a dirty magazine. The thing is, it was full of transexuals. I knew that ladies didn't have man parts, but we were both surprised and confused for a time. |

Back when I was a wee boy I thought that girls did a #1 and #2 from the back. I came on this conclusion by knowing that they didn't have boy bits at the front, so how else could they pee?
Now I'm slightly embarrassed but what the heck...

Found out at the age of 19 that that wasn't true when I suddenly found myself with my Nissan in the middle of a meadow.
And I thought that when making a fast corner with a motorcycle, while hanging at 40° you could apply your front brake with full force.
Found out that wasn't true when my Honda was sticking halfway through a fence. |

Heron among many other other interesting and very clever contraptions invented the first steam engine in 50 AD. |

Also, stupidly, thought it was possible to understand them.
