According to the Bible telling a lie is a sin but Study shows that lying is One older (from 2002) but interesting study noted that 60% of participants lied at least once in a ten-minute conversation, and on average told two to three lies. Even the participants who watched their own conversations back on video were surprised at how many times they fibbed. A newer British study (from 2008) says that people lie four times a day on average, which doesn't sound that bad until your consider that totals up to 1,460 untruths per year. Men, the study says, lie a bit more than women and, not surprisingly, that the most common misstatement is "I'm fine." Here are ways that people are telling a lie:
- The number of sexual partners you've had plus or minus five
- That you totally just washed your hands
- That you're naturally toned
- That you can not do a headstand in yoga class
- That you made that lasagna yourself
- That you always recycle
- That you read all sections of the paper, not just the Style and Entertainment sections
- That you never ever, ever look at so-and-so's Facebook page!
