When I started my first year at uni on one of the first days I was talking with a small group of people I just met trying to make some new friends when this guy in a wheelchair rolls by. One of the girls in the group asked a question/wondered out loud "can people in wheelchairs break their legs?" There was some confused laughter when we asked her to clarify what she meant. She went on to explain "well, say they're paralysed from the waist down and they have no feeling or control of their legs at all, then, how do the legs know to break?" There was much "are you joking? you're not serious right?" She further explained "no but like, if the connection between the nerves and stuff in their legs is severed between them and the brain, then the brain can't carry messages to the legs to tell them to break right?" Four years later and she still insists it was a completely legit question and there were plenty of others over the years which put no doubt in my mind she was being sincere.
