I'll go again, to show Gad the stuff doesn't have to be remarkable:

1.) I own at least 11 different versions of The Goldberg Variations.

2.) I own at least 11 different packages of photo paper.

3.) I own at least 11 different dividers.

4.) I own at least 11 different hammers.

What would you do with 11 hammers? :biggrin:

Hmm, zoobyshoe, you're an artist IIRC, so I'd guess you've got various photo papers and dividers. Maybe hammers too. so I'd guess

Very cool. I was going to guess that one as well, but since I didn't have to waste my wrong guess, I'll try another. #3. Why would anyone have 11 dividers? I'm assuming you mean the metal pointy kind.
 
  • #57
The paper one for me.
 
  • #58
Sorry everyone, I went to sleep shortly after my last reply.

Gad guessed right: I don't have 11 hammers. The video link was just to explain what someone might do with 11 hammers. I do have 5 hammers, though.

I have so many dividers because some are for machine shop and some for art.
 
  • #59
Gad's turn.

I had a good laugh @ the hammers dance answer. OK Zshoe, I'll follow your steps :p

1- I had a car accident 10 weeks ago.
2- I didn't blink for a straight 10 minutes.
3- A needle stayed inside my foot for at least 10 days.
4- 10 guys asked for my hand.

Guess the lie. :biggrin:

Can't say why, but I think the lie is 2.

That's right! :)

I knew you were a heartbreaker :wink:.

OK, I'll try to think of something:


1. I once literally ran into a moose.
2. I have a very poor sense of taste due to a tongue injury.
3. I slipped and fell on a banana peel in front of a crowd of people when I was in middle school.
4. I have had an iPhone for over 5 years, yet have never bought an app.

I think #2 is the lie. Lisa has several times mentioned fondness for certain foods over the years.

I don't think that it's number 1 unless she hit one in the last five days. I'll round out the guesses with number 4. No apps for you lisab! :-p

You can only guess one.

Evo said:
Nope, #1 is also true. Sorry, I corrected above, #3 is false. I did learn CPR, luckily never had to use it.

Next!

Hi Evo! I just noticed this thread and saw the 4 things you wrote about yourself (with #3 false). I'm wondering what happened with #1 and #2, as both would make for a great story!

zoobyshoe said:

I meant that I didn't think that number 1 was the lie because she had already stated that it was true. I have no idea why I wrote that sentence the way that I did. :redface:
I'm sticking with number 4 as the lie.

You're right, #3 is a lie.

I ran into a moose while racing one of my brothers down the driveway in the middle of the night.

I severely burned my tongue drinking "free" coffee at Jiffy Lube, and it was never the same. I still love food, though!

And I just don't see the point of apps...does that make me a Luddite?

Nah, you fine. With so many free apps you'll probably never need to buy one in a lifetime.

1. My smell sense can identify family members and their branch.
2. Went home by foot on a rainy day from shcool, got all wet by splashed water from passing vehicles, got followed by a bee colony and finally got chased down a street by a cow.
3. Once forced my body to run for so long that a few minutes after I stopped running I puked and then fainted.
4. Fell highspeed down a cliff in a bycicle, hit a lemon three, got the thorns all over my skin, and got bitten by fire ants below that tree.
 
  • #74
Lol! I sure hope it's #4, Psinter.
 
  • #75
Nope. Original story here: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=733176 7th post.

But I'm somewhat grateful to the lemon tree for if it hadn't stopped me, there was a high speed river waiting for me at the bottom of the cliff. Hihi, got lucky. Plus my grandma treated me and gave me cookies. :-p

Haha. Well, glad you're ok. :)

It really needs to be verifiable events, #1 doesn't qualify, well, actually several don't.

Well I guess nothing said so far could be easily verified, bit it should be more than

My smell sense can identify family members and their branch.

It should be something unique and unusual.

But that's just me.

I can smell when an animal has less than 48 hours to live, never been wrong, freaks people out, and actually it can be verified, I've even told people here when I smelled death on my cat, for instance.

Just thinking that the facts should be more interesting.
 
  • #81
There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.
 
  • #82
zoobyshoe said:

Nope.

Hint: According to logic rules, a conjunction is making the whole statement false.

Not freaked out, I actually understand. We should join forces and do great things together with this power of smell. But I'll understand if you prefer to work alone.

Yes, I think #2 is a lie. Bees don't come out on rainy days.

Those did because me and my friend touched that brown thing where they hide on our way home. :biggrin:

I'm a little tired. :zzz: Let us finish this please. I'm about to spill the beans and give it to zoobyshoe.

Oh, sorry. By branch I meant whether they come from my mother's side or from my father's side. Each family branch has a different characteristic smell.

Everything but the correct one was guessed. Number 3 was the lie. That never happened. I thought it would sound too dramatic so it would be obvious it was a lie. But it appears I wasn't dramatic enough. :(

Well, first come, first served.

*Bump*

:smile: I figured #3 was totally believable for someone who experienced #2 and #4!
 
  • #88
1. I blew up an old car with explosives I made myself.
2. I refused to have sex with someone half the school wanted to bang.
3. I outran a city cop car and lost them in the haze of the traffic.
4. I have suffered 230V electrocutions for nearly a minute on a few occasions and nothing happened to me.

Well, I'm sure something would have happened. :smile:. But anyway, I guess #4.
 
  • #90
#4 is true - The first time was when I was 14, we had an electrical lawnmower, I was detangling the coord which was faulty, grabbed on to it while I had already inserted the coord in the plug and boom, I locked and fell on the grass, but I managed to pull the cable out of the socket somehow. Went to a doctor later on, they said as if nothing had happened, everything was normal.
The second time was when I was 17, during renovations I was drilling a wall (the power was out, but this line was separated somehow and ran through the neighbour's supply - USSR construction , don't ask) the drill's chassis was metalish so I was electrocuted again, it had been roughly 40 seconds (there was a large wall clock nearby) till another construction worker pushed me away. Later at the doctor, once again everything was fine, as if nothing had happened.

As for testing it, no thanks - it's not like it isn't uncomfortable, maybe I have greater resilience to this thing, some people test fuse boxes with their fingers and nothing happens to them :O

I have suffered 230V twice myself, so I know it is NOT a nice experience. It's horrible. :biggrin:
 
  • #92
I think #1 is the lie because, of the remaining choices, it seems most plausible.
 
  • #93
#1 is true as well - I was a pyromaniac, I was 9 when I tested my "bomb" xD (I found a book which described making gunpowder and explosives - gave it a shot)
 
  • #94
I'll guess that number 2 is the lie.
 
  • #95
Strike three, you're out xD I am not interested in "ho"s, which she was, and still probably is, I don't know.

#3 is the lie, I tried to get away, I didn't speed or anything, but I didn't have insurance at the time, I was on the way to the registry center at the time to update my insurance, but the cop caught me, I was let off with a warning and they let me go to the registry :D

To clarify - it is an offense to drive without insurance (having insurance implies the car is deemed suitable for driving), they ask you for your drivers license and pop it through some kind of a creditcard readerish thing and it immediately says whether I have active insurance or not. If not, most likely a fine. Worst case scenario your car will be towed away and you lose your license.

I'll go with #2. You got to be kidding, right? :smile:
 
  • #97
#2 is true, not kidding, I didn't have gf at the time either and, yes, I am straight :D - simply wasn't interested in her or what she had to offer. She's a manipulator, no matter how good she is in bed, it's not worth the potential trouble with her later ^^

Can someone say the following in a more straight forward wording: 'it's not like it isn't uncomfortable'.
Thanks.

I'm going to guess this is the lie, due to a lack of alternate choices.
