Axeman Jim's post reminds me...
When I was but a wee child, I used to think cars were electric, and they had cables trailing out behind them.

The fact that I'd never seen one of these cables didn't faze me at all.

But then I was a little bit slow.

I also thought that you accelerated and braked using the gearstick.
