Lol,

I was 'taught' by my 5th grade Geography teacher that Iceland used to be called Greenland, and vice versa and they switched the names during WW2 to "confuse the Nazi's". I thought that was interesting but never really took the time to think about it logically. I repeated this 'fact' to a friend when I was in my early 20's and she laughed and called me an idiot. Talk about embarrassing.
