    I'm the one, it was me all along, I put the rubber snake on Mrs. Montgomery's chair in Grade 3!

    I invented New Coke!

    I shot J.R.

    ...and I came up with the idea for Pop-Under Advertising!

    I throw myself on the mercy of the /.court

    Imagine if they were 100% perfect!

    It's like in "Liar Liar" where he cannot tell a lie. Personally the first thing that I would have done is to read out lots of physics theorys and see which are correct.
    If they are wrong, then I'm lying, so the machine should beep me. I'll become famous! :)

  4. Is it too late? by cachorro · · Score: 2, Funny
    Since this works with just a video of the face, is it too late to hook it up to the State of the Union broadcast?

    Or maybe they could just apply it during a replay.

    a perfect lie detector. I involved in a research which used mild electric shock when the lie detector returned confidence level below a certain theshold. We found that mild electric shock could really improve the accuracy.

    Later I found that if I inverse-proportioned the intensity of electric shock to the confidence reading of the lie detector the accuracy would sky-rocket.

    Unfortunately, my research was called to stop when a prof. used an obvious lie on my prototype. The confidence level reach 0 and the detector output maximum electric shock which knocked the prof. 10 feets away from the desk.

    Damn. it was that tyrannic dictatorship destroyed a great research like that! :)
