Can You Spot the Lie? - A Game of Truths and Deceptions

[DennisN]

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.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I think #1 is the lie because, of the remaining choices, it seems most plausible.

 

[lendav_rott]

#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)

 

[Borg]

I'll guess that number 2 is the lie.

 

[lendav_rott]

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.

 

[phinds]

I'll go with #2. You got to be kidding, right?

 

[lendav_rott]

#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.

Thanks.

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

 

[drizzle]

Lol Zshoe!

 

[zoobyshoe]

Lol Zshoe!

It's not like it was a comfortable choice.

 

[Psinter]

It's not like it was a comfortable choice.

That will do it. I was thinking about interpretative dance (electrocution 101), but never mind.

means I do feel the electricity, but it's not excrutiating, yet it's not pleasant either.

In general, it's a double negation so it's confirmation, but the difference is that double negation doesn't stress the "magnitude" of the subject. Eg I could say "It is uncomfortable" - this immediately says that it's not pleasant and gives reason to imply further that it may be hurting or ..excrutiating, if you will. However, if I say "it's not like it isn't uncomfortable" - it kind of says that something is uncomfortable, but it doesn't emphasize the "uncomfortable".

It's not like it was a comfortable choice.

ho ho, very funny :D

 

[lisab]

So lendav_rott fooled us all !

The next turn is open to anyone. C'mon, if you've been lurking, now's the perfect time to join in!

 

[lendav_rott]

1. I sleep, at most, 8 hours a night.
2. I can park a car in a sidebox by sliding in with the handbrake.
3. I can sing high notes as high as a soprano singer.
4. I like to eat at McDonald's 3 or more times a week.

 

[DennisN]

4. I like to eat at McDonald's 3 or more times a week.

Surely this must be the lie!

 

[lendav_rott]

Rats...must have been too obvious :S What gave it away?

 

[DennisN]

Really? McD is awful . I will post four new ones in a while, hang on...

 

[DennisN]

Here's my new ones:

1. I've got 6 guitars at home, and one of them is worth about $4000.
2. I've got three keyboards/synthesizers at home.
3. I've got more than 80 loudspeaker drivers at home at the moment.
4. I can play the guitar, bass, piano/keyboard, sing and play drums.

 

[lendav_rott]

I'll go with number 3.

 

[DennisN]

I'd say that's a good guess, but unfortunately it is true. One of my hobbies is building loudspeakers, and I am about to build a bunch, so I've got very many drivers at home at the moment. The magnetic field where I store them must be very, very weird...

 

[lendav_rott]

E: nevermind, I only get 1 guess

 

[DennisN]

According to the OP, "Everyone gets one guess which is the lie.", so I have to wait for the next persons guess.

EDIT: Yeah, I saw you noticed it above, good.

Number 1.

 

[DennisN]

Number 1.

Sorry, it's true. I've got 2 electrical guitars, two acoustic guitars and two bass guitars. Now there's only two choices left, 2 or 4...

 

[Borg]

I'll guess number 4.

 

[DennisN]

I'll guess number 4.

Correct!

2. True. I've got one master keyboard, one synthesizer and another keyboard which will be a gift to a friend.

4. Lie, since I can't play the drums. I play the other instruments/sing decently, but I can't say I can function as a drummer. I can "play" drums, that is, I know how to, and what I'm supposed to do, and I've desperately tried to learn it, but I can't keep the tempo . It requires a lot of practice.

EDIT: So Borg, it's your turn, if you like.

 

[Borg]

OK, here's some facts and a lie about me.

1. I have kissed the Blarney Stone.
2. I have been inside Bilbo Baggins's house.
3. I have seen the Northern Lights - during the day.
4. I once flew from Detroit to Los Angeles first class and flew back first class again on the next return flight - just for the fun of it.

Cool.

Number 2. If you have, that's awesome!

 

[Borg]

Cool.

Nope. I've been there.
