This came to me last night its an absolute beauty, when i was 11 we ventured to france on a school trip by coach then ferry. Whilst browsing in this french supermarket i saw guns and roses album on the shelf, use your illusion 2. I had recently acquired use your illusion 1 and i was a huge guns n roses fan.

I went to pick it up but then i said to my mate, " nah im not buying that, i cant be doing with them singing in french i hardly know any words!"

Whats your daftest moments as a gullible child?
 
I was about 7-8.

i was looking through my wardrobe clearing out some old clothes. I found a few tops with this little crocodile on the left/right hand side. I decided that i was "grown up" and didnt want childs clothes any more and cleared them out.

Looking back i must have been pretty stylish.

doh!
 
I was persuaded to lick the bottom of the chest freezer.
Yes, my tongue got stuck and panic ensued.
 
My sister convinced me to eat a spoon full of chilli powder. The worst part is my mum was in the kitchen at the time when she called me in so I they must have conjured that plan up together!
 
Trying to cut an apple with a butter knife when I was younger and ending up slicing my left index finger to the bone :O
 
Too many things to list =/

I remember climbing my book case, obviously it wasn't designed to support the weight of a 6 year old and it fell over on top of me.

When I was about 13 my annoying mate had "written a book" and wanted to get it published. He went into the "bookmakers". I was with him and he was talking about it all the way to town, I thought I wont wee on his fire/this will be hillarious. He walked in and about a second later he turned on his heels and came back out and never said I word about it.
 
Turning my bike upside down when i was 7, spinning the back wheel as fast as possible with the pedals, and wondering what would happen if i put my finger between the chain and rear cog whilst it was turning. Cue lots of screaming and a half severed finger tip and a rather quick trip to the hospital........

Removing the front quick release wheel from my sisters bike and attempting to ride down the street doing a massive wheelie when i was 8, got about half way down and dumped the forks into the tarmac, bike cart wheeled over me, i got a mouthful of tarmac and a rather bad stinging pain in my left leg. Turned out when the bike flipped over, the pedal (which only had the center barrel left as the rest of the pedal had broken off ages before, so a solid centimetre wide metal shaft!) had embedded itself in my left thigh to the depth of about 1 inch. Yay, another trip to the hospital....
 
I thought that it was fun to paddle in a shallow pond fully clothed and wearing shoes. My mum found me standing in the middle of one with all the local kids throwing water over me.
 
I don't remember how old I was must have been 7ish I reckon though, but I was challenged by the older lad across the road to do a front flip on my bike by slamming on the front anchor.

So I blast down the road at full speed and squeeze the front brake, I did flip a bit but mostly just face planted into the road.
 
thinking that the lyrics for "you're going to have to face it, you're addicted to love" by robert palmer were in fact "your head is where your face is, you're addicted to love"...
 
To prove my manliness i set fire to a bush... paying no heed at all to the fact that it was both close to a vast collection of super-dry gorse bushes.

In a matter of seconds the whole lot started to burn quite impressively. The problem was they were located at the top of a banking which led to a busy trunk road, the fire spread down the banking and closed the road for the best part of an hour.

Go me
