A few examples...
Who all was there when Jesus was born? People will often list the wise men... but they actually came a few years later.
How many wise men were there? People will often say three... we don't know. The Bible never says.
My apologies that both examples revolve around the birth of Christ... it's just early and that's the only two I could think of.
But that is the reason for this thread as well...
Can you come up with some other assumptions that people tend to run with that actually aren't in the Bible? It would be a great help in making up my worksheet.

Here are a few one liners:
Cleanliness is close to Godliness
God blesses those who bless themselves
I'll let you know if I come up with more.
