    is like ordering escargot in a French restaurant and smothering them in ketchup.

    After which the chef comes out of the kitchen to yell at you, so you pay your bill and leave, but you payed using the fake french money you got from the shady guy in front of the American Express office and you get arrested by the French police but no one at the police station speaks french and you have to get Ricky to translate from Lucy's english to Spanish so the drunk guy can translate Ricky's Spanish into German so the police officer can translate German into French for the police captain...

  9. Hiding Posts in the "Don't Look Here" Section on Apple/NVidia Driver Bug — Question Deleted · · Score: 1
    Within a few hours, they removed it from the site, placing it under 'Posts Removed by Administration.'
    I could think of better ways to hides posts than by putting them in a section titled "Posts Removed by Administration".
  10. Re:A way out? on FBI File of Lie Detector's Creator · · Score: 5, Interesting
    As shown recently on MythBusters, Cleve Backster the man that originated the comparison test used by most law enforcement agencies to determine the results of a polygraph test spent most of his career using those tests on plants.

    From any interview given in 1997
    ... the imagery entered my mind of burning the leaf I was testing. I didn't verbalize, I didn't touch the plant, I didn't touch the equipment. The only new thing that could have been a stimulus for the plant was the mental image. Yet the plant went wild. The pen jumped right off the top of the chart.

    If that won't convince someone about the accuracy of the test, I don't think TFA will.
