Where's that 'ridiculous things you believed as a kid' thread? Because I just remembered that I used to think the two teams on University Challenge were stacked one on top of the other like the way it's cut together.

It is with a heavy heart I announce the sale of my long term ape, Salazar. Most of my early followers know me as this ape. My kids know me as this ape. I met my wife when I WAS this ape and had my first kid when I was still proudly wore this ape. By extension, it is part of me.…
