Ha! That's awesome. Cannot wait to show my brother. He should find solace in the fact that both he and Kelly from Married... With Children shared the same misconception.

Maybe I was the only one... Don't judge me lol

I'll admit it still confuses me.

I watched the first full season of Homeland (maybe more) before I realized that Saul was Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride.

Also, about 7-8 years ago I thought Timothy Olyphant and Josh Duhamel were the same person... I was like "Man, this dude is in everything".

Not exactly way too long,but took me until I was probably like 8 or something maybe before I realized that just cause people have same last name, doesn't mean they're related.

Some people at my school used to think same way too. So when we were younger,and saw a teacher with a last name that's the same as someone famous, we'd always think they're related lol. What a small world back then.

Haha I remember the first time I discovered that my mom and dad actually had names. I mean I was like a little kid or baby or whatever the hell, but still it was this weird conceived notion that their names couldn't possibly be anything else other than "Mom" or "Dad."

And a related topic, when you were little in school, finding out a teachers first name was like the main mystery every student wanted to find out lol. Cause back then it was always like "Mr.____" or "Mrs.____" and stuff, but that was it. Finding out they had a first name......a teachers least fave day when their 6 year old students call them by their first name.

When I was young I thought that players for professional teams were all natives of the area in which they played. i.e. All of the Pittsburgh Steelers were born and raised in Pittsburgh.

And I thought everyone hated each other. Meaning you shouldn't even be interacting with the other team, but if you do, it's all trash talk and stuff. Then one day I saw one of my fave players on 1B just laughing and talking with the other team.....Ya, that was a let down moment at the time lol.
