I Used To Believe is an incredible community site that collects the beliefs adults use to maintain as kids. If you were once a child, you probably remember developing your own cuckoo myths that -- at least for some period of time -- determined the way you acted, whether it manifested in secret fears, bizarre behavior, or general thoughts about the outside world.

Appropriately, the site organized these thoughts into the most logical of categories, including -- naturally -- telephones, vampires and farting (oh my!).

Here are some examples especially worthy of your attention:

• On boogers:

I believed that my boogers had tiny little souls and when i picked my nose, i would ball them up and group them together on the seat of a defunct exercise bike in our front yard, and sometimes I'd talk to them.

• On farting:

I used to believe that if I farted a lot, trapped all my farts in a plastic bag and then inhaled them the way I did with the hellion [ed. sic] balloons, my voice would become like Donald Duck's.

• On drugs:

When I was a kid I heard that the Beatles did acid and I wondered if they melted from it.

• On telephones:

When I first heard of fax machines, I used to believe that there was an invisible line in the sky that would transfer the page and papers would "move" around the sky...

• On dogs:
  

I believe that if I was lick by a dog I would be impotent
