You ever think something is absolutely right, when in reality it is ABSOLUTELY wrong? I think everyone has experienced this at one time or another. We are all dumb assholes.
For the longest time, for some reason, I was 100% sure that the guitarist in Weezer was Jason Schwartzman. When I would watch Weezer videos, I would say, "Oh, there's the guy from Rushmore playing guitar." Why was I so sure about this? I don't know. I knew Jason Schwartzman was in a famous band (that band being the not so famous Phantom Planet, where he played drums) and somehow sub-consciously I came to the conclusion that he MUST be the guy in Weezer.
Brian Bell of Weezer
Jason Schwartzman
I guess they kind of look alike.
I discussed this @ work yesterday and one of my co-workers said that up throughout high school she thought the word "mandatory" meant "optional." She missed many assemblies. When she finally got in trouble her teachers thought she was either retarded, or the worst excuse-giver in history. "But... but, Mrs. Smith, you said it was MANDATORY!"
In the "Lost" thread, I remember some dude thought Desmond was Australian, for some odd reason, when it was clearly shown that he was Scottish.
Random stuff like that. For some reason this shit happens.
