There's no way I'm remembering this wrong

[TheRealJoeFish]

I distinctly remember having corrected my peers for the last 20 years when they pronounced their name "steen" or "stine" instead of "stain." So... This means they have mind-altering abilities.

This type of mass false memory is probably common. For example, does anyone else think they remembered (to borrow Shermer's example) Darth Vader saying "Luke, I'm your father!"

Dude. You're from universe B. Those of us who remember it otherwise, were originally from universe A...before time/reality was altered. We were then switched to universe B. Everything matched up the same by and large, except for minor details such as this.

So say the alternate universe theorists, anyway.

"Fine, we didn't want to be Universe A anyways.  You guys can be Universe A, and we'll be Universe 1"

I remember it as "Berenstein."

I also remember the guy in Tiananmen Square getting run over by the tank.

Maybe we slipped into one of those parallel universes--you know, those other universes whose existence can never be tested and discussion of which sounds reminiscent of theological speculation.

We came from one of those.

That's different, though. Someone misquoted the line from the movie--maybe a journalist or somebody with some level of fame--and the quote itself must have caught on.

Dratted Google....makes any time spent on memorizing trivia absolutely wasted.

I wonder if the death of Nelson Mandela mis-remember doesn't get confused with the death of Steve Biko.
South Africa
Roughly the same time frame
Black activists against apartheid.

Just wonderin'.

See, the credits had clips from many episodes. But that particular clip is ONLY seen during the end credits, it was never part of an actual episode.

Weird.

This explains it. Sorry, I'm on my phone so you may have to copy and paste the link.

I remember it as stain. I was born in 1971. The article gives a decent explanation as to why it's been thought to have been spelled wrong all these years.
