Spy Games

liarliar

Have you ever read that if a person looks to their right while telling you something they're lying? The motions of a person's eyes while thinking are called "visual accessing cues," and a look right indicates a constructed thought – a fib – whereas a look left suggests a remembered thought.

Some people think it's bullshit, and it may be, but this is a screen grab we took from the video of Gary Coleman's new wife, Shannon Price, saying, "I just wanna be in his life."

    And by being in his life she means getting as much free press as she can so they get that neat reality show.

    I've read that the whole thing of looking to the right when you're lying only applies to right handed people, that with left handed people it's the opposite. not sure, just throwing it out there.

    I always thought it was too the left. Or so I've read and saw on Montel about 10 years ago.

    Let's see if we can see which hand she favors. Except, I'm left handed but had to learn to use my right. Apparently all the right handers forget we exist. Lefties have feelings too.

    I am left handed also, and had to learn certain things right handed. My parents thought I was slow cause I couldn't operate the manual can opener- til one day they realized it was all ass backward for a leftie! yep, the righties always forget about us!

    I feel your pain. I took a guitar class in high school and there was not a left handed guitar to be found. OUTRAGE! I probably would have sucked regardless. But that's the story I'm using.

    Hey, we are subjected to a right handers world. I'm sure you know left handers have many more injuries due to using right handed products not right for them. NOT due to clumsiness as was once taught. And I think your guitar excuse is perfect! The right handers keeping you down.

    I too am a leftie. And I feel like I'm cheating on myself when I use a rightie can opener or scissors.

    The link is very confusing. It says "right" but the drawing is showing the person looking to their left. So our right. Make sense?

    I'd always heard it was looking to the left to fabricate as well. Well, assuming "always heard" means "saw on an episode of CSI."

    Maybe we should have some kind of a leftie strike. But you can't hold the sign in your right.

    Kitchy, my thinking is if you saw it on CSI then itmust be correct. Well, wait. Which CSI was it? I don't have the same trust in CSI, NY as I do in the original CSI or CSI, Miami. I think they just phone it in with CSI, NY.

    We are in here confessing, like an AA meeting. Hi, i'm (insert name) and…. I am a leftie. HA.

    and CSI NY relies to heavily on the menacing NY accents, IMHO.

    Yes. The Ny version is like the Daniel Baldwin of the Baldwin brothers.

    I must confess I am incapable of deciphering which way is left and which way is right, especially when giving directions. I will always say the wrong one and point at the right one. Can I blame this on being a leftie-taught-to-rightie?

    Same here nene. I have to sit and think about which way is right and which way is left. I hate being asked for directions.

    As for Gary Coleman's "wife"…she absolutely loathes him. I listened to their interview, and those were the most uncomfortable, tense three minutes. You don't even need visual clues to realize that something's rotten.

    And his "it'll happen when it happens" reasoning as for why they haven't had sex? Face it dude, she can't even bear the thought…

    I hate it when someone gives me directions and they are all, Turn east go up the street and then go west. Look, my breasts are not compasses. Just tell me to go left or right.

    i will confess to just being so stupid that I have to pretend to write my name (in the air no less) to determine which hand is left and which hand is right. also, i've heard if you're looking left you're lying but I'm guessing it probably has to do with left/right brainedness (i made that up) no?

    It was the original CSI. The episode with the Copolla chick who kills her daughter and frames the carnie for it.

    I do the "which hand makes an L" thing for left.

    It must be true then. I go with the hand I like to slap people with. I know that's my left.
