Two Truths & One Lie: Guess My Ancestor!

[Evo]

You're right, I was!

 

[Townsend]

1. I have the same birthday as Alyssa Milano.

2. I once ran 3 miles in 17 minutes and 15 seconds

3. I have cleared a 40 foot triple

 

[zoobyshoe]

I once crossed the Golden Gate Bridge.

I once crossed the Brooklyn Bridge.

I once crossed the London Bridge.

 

[Townsend]

I once crossed the Golden Gate bridge.

I onced crossed the Brooklyn Bridge.

I onced crossed the London bridge.

#3...didn't someone actually buy the London bridge and bring it to the US?

 

[Evo]

Ok, here's another about me.

I did a walk on part on Saturday Night Live.

A video tape of me is stored in the Library of Congress.

My cat has been accused of international possum smuggling.

@ townsend
#3

@zoobyshoe
#2

 

[Townsend]

@ townsend
#3

correct...

 

[JamesU]

Evo...

#2

 

[zoobyshoe]

I did a walk on part on Saturday Night Live.

I think this is the false one, just because I've never seen you mention having been to NY.

 

[mattmns]

I am going with #3 for Evo as false.

#2

#3...didn't someone actually buy the London bridge and bring it to the US?

BOTH Townsend and yommama are correct. I have never crossed the Brooklyn Bridge or the London Bridge. Thinking back, I now recall I wanted to cross the London Bridge when I was there in 1969, but it was closed.

I think this is the one I actually walked across:

Tower Bridge Exhibition - index

[JamesU]

that was 2 lies and a truth

 

[zoobyshoe]

that was 2 lies and a truth

One lie, one truth, one false memory. 1969 was a looooooooooonnnnnnggggg time ago.

 

[Evo]

zoob's right, #1 is false, I have been to NY, but I was not on Saturday Night Live.

 

[JamesU]

My cat has been accused of international possum smuggling.

so this is true?

 

[zoobyshoe]

I once saw a man catch a tarantula.

I once saw a man catch a python.

I once saw a man catch a shark.

(In person, not on TV or anything.)

 

[JamesU]

#2 is false

 

[Evo]

so this is true?

Yes, I am afraid it is. My cat, Dr Foofer, became involved in illegal possum smuggling because of this venture (below). It is a well known fact here at PF.

 

[zoobyshoe]

That's so sad when cats go afoul of the law.

 

[honestrosewater]

I think zooby's python catcher isn't real.
___
I once saw a crane catch a rattlesnake in my backyard.

My dad is an axe murderer.

I almost joined a gang when I was younger.

 

[hypnagogue]

I'll say zoob never saw someone catch a shark in person.

And Rose, I HOPE your father isn't an axe murderer, unless that's some sort of pun!

 

[hypnagogue]

OK, since my first entry is already buried-- I did meet David Chalmers and Steven Pinker, in Tucson at the 2004 Towards a Science of Consciousness convention. (Pinker is an amazingly lucid and well-composed speaker, both on stage and in person.) I didn't meet Dennett, although after sitting down in a large conference hall to hear Pinker's talk, I soon noticed that I happened to be sitting right behind Dennett. He's a big guy.

 

[EnumaElish]

One of my relatives was married to the Bride of Frankenstein.

You're officially related to Frankie and you were afraid of a little snake?

#1? Okay, #3?

 

[hypnagogue]

I'll give another go-round.
_______

I was a co-founder of a video gaming website that eventually attracted 50,000 hits with 40 GB of traffic per day.

I once recited a suggestive limerick with a bad British accent in front of an audience of academics while inebriated.

I can do a fantastic Jerry Seinfield impression.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I once saw a crane catch a rattlesnake in my backyard.

Just to be perverse, I'm going to pick the one that seems most likely true as my choice for the one that is false.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I can do a fantastic Jerry Seinfield impression.

Something about you strikes me as you being the kind of person who can't do a fantastic impression of anyone. I'll say this is false.

 

[Townsend]

Something about you strikes me as you being the kind of person who can't do a fantastic impression of anyone. I'll say this is false.

Can't be...that would be way too hard to come up with...

 

[zoobyshoe]

Can't be...that would be way too hard to come up with...

Yeah...I just realized that all that's necessary for it to be true is for him to think he can do it.
