04/01/2003: "FBI funnies"

We had a retired FBI agent speak to our Serial Homicide class tonight, I enjoyed it immensely. He was talking about how to tell if an interrogated person is lying, and he said that if they don't vehemently deny the accusation, it's a pretty big clue. The example he gave was, "If you ask a person if he killed his wife, and he says, 'Now why would I go and do a thing like that?' then something is wrong. He should be going, 'HELL NO!!!'"

Small things amuse me.

*I* wouldn't know, because *I'M* not the one who badgered him about his size, Mr. Dot. Shame on you, you harlot.

I once caught a show on TLC on the human face hosted by John Cleese. Great show.

In one segment, they talked about determining when people were lying. People you'd expect to have skills in this area (such as teachers, cops, judges) do not. The US Intelligence community developed skill in reading something they called micro-expressions which is a giveaway the majority of the time.

They gave a brief explaination, albeit not enough for me to put it into practice. Then they played a clip of "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" three or four times and went to commercial. It was a riot.
