Fairly simple, you just mention the most ridiculous thing you've ever heard, did, or witnessed, but try and save some things for later down the road.
To start us off, I remember in 7th Grade a girl thinking you could get pregnant from swallowing semen.

Knew someone about two years ago who believed the 'Mc' in McDonalds stood for Made Canadian.

I thought putting floaties on my ankles would grant me the ability to walk on water. I nearly drowned and had to have CPR administered on me since I was stuck flowing with my feet out of the water and couldn't get up for air.

I nearly drowned and had to have CPR administered on me since I was stuck flowing with my feet out of the water and couldn't get up for air. I did something similiar, only I duct-taped pieces of a body float onto the bottoms of my feet, and I got about three steps before I fell over. So, don't feel bad about doing that. Keep on track with topic, I once had a telemarketer call me trying to sell hearing aids... you figure that one out.

Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard? Uhm, a person (not going to name any names!) saying that another person "smells like evil".

A certain someone also said his writing was as poetic as a crimson flow..that was pretty rediculous.

My mom, bein' sorta... backwards as she was, used to tell us as kids that if we didn't change our bed sheets EVERY WEEKEND that we'd get lockjaw.
...It's a miricle I turned out half as all right as I did.

Lockjaw, from not changing bedsheets? That's a new one, wow... Hm... let's see, my cousin's ex-girlfriend believing that men had periods (and she was 17 years old).

Yeah well, she's... uhm... backwards. That's the kindest word I can use... My brother and I laugh about this crap to this very day. *laughs*
We were also told as kids that when we had pimples, that if we messed with them, they would go septic and an infection would spread straight to our brains and we'd DIE. Figure that one out. The same went for chicken pox.

My great uncle, a Vietnam veteran, told me that some of the VietCong P.O.W.s they had would tell them all kinds of excuses to get out of being captured, one in particular was that the man was just looking for a place to urinate.

I was once told colognes and/or perfumes were made of urine. If I remember who was the one who told me this and why, I will later share, but he was a friend of my friend.

Figure that one out. The same went for chicken pox. There's some truth to that, actually. Albeit the chances of that happening in pimples are very small, but any infection in the locale of the head is dangerous of spreading to the brain. My grandfather had a boil that got badly infected and spread to his brain. Killed him and he was about 25 years old or so, my dad was three days old. My friend in college got a sinus infection that spread to his brain and put him in a coma and he had to go to rehab to get his speech and motor functions back. It's extremely rare but it can happen with any sort of infection that gets out of control. Funny note, pimples are essentially facial infections.
On topic. I'm a fairly idiotic child. Mother was cooking. I was curious. I ate a pinch of cooking flour. I thought "hey, yum." So I took a large spoonfull of it. When I started choking I decided the best course of action when suffocating is to hide from all sources of help, so I ran to the bathroom and tried drinking water. For all you non-chefs out there flour + water = concrete. I cemented my trachea closed and luckily mother came to check on me and found me blue and passed out on the bathroom floor. She had to scoop that shit out of my throat and give me CPR. Luckily my mother knew what to do, otherwise I probably would have died.

In class the beginning of this semester, and we got onto the topic of movies. Eventually, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children came up, and after a few moments of discussion, a comment was made:
"It's about time they made a game for that movie, like they did with Cars."
I rest my case.
