Lie Detector by Laura

November 6th, 2007 10:27 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Create a non-polygraph lie detector test and use it on at least three subjects. Report on how well it works.

If it works, use it to catch liars.

I will oh-so-scientifically% test a lie detector test which has been passed down in my family for generations.

Which is to say, after making a statement, one must say "George Washington" 10 times without laughing. If they are able, truth; if not, lies.

During a birthday party (though it was my birthday today, the birthday party was for a friend whose birthday was yesterday), I put the test to several people. Some we managed to get on recording. Though some of those we didn't record the truth/lie itself but only the George Washingtons. There was a 100% success rate, though only one of the tested statements was known to be a lie. I will still declare SUCCESS for my old family lie detector test. Phoned-in recordings of some testings attached.

Boone has a wart on his junk. It's not a genital wart. Just a wart on his genitals.

It's small for a scientific testing..but i'll give it to you. 1/2 point for each person. plus 2.5 points for using the phrase "genital wart" legitimatley in a praxis.

I have to agree with Caleb, both about the sample size and the legitimate use of "genital wart."

I fixed my post. Also the requested task was 3 people. Much worse! And I got a few who didn't get recorded.
