Pretty common belief among stupid 7-year-olds, I think; humans couldn't see colour up to the mid-60s.
I believed this. You are the first person I've ever heard whose had this same belief.
I thought those crosses or flowers on the side of the road were where they buried the person who died in an accident.
That there were little gnomes inside the doors of the cars and that they were in charge of raising and lowering the windows, especially in the automatic cars.
The semaphore homunculus lived in the stop lights at intersections.
