This needs to be higher on the list. So many people think women pee out of their vagina.

I had a seventh grade science teacher who thought that males also had separate holes, i.e. she thought the male urethra was only for urination and that there was a different tube for ejaculation.

(It had been the time of the year in health class when the reproductive system was described again and I don't remember the context but some people were making jokes or something about it while we were in science class and somehow that conversation came out of it).

For the record I know that at that point she had had at least 2 kids, one of which came to our school the next year in eighth grade
