I've never seen the country map so green. I'm still trying to figure out if this says something about the American public or our views about the dental system/personal hygiene.

National Poll: If you forgot a loved one's birthday, would you: Make up a lie or Tell the truth?


Make up a lie: 28.4%
Tell the truth: 71.6%
Men: 29.9% 70.1%
Women: 24.8% 75.2%

Interesting. So, apparently most of us tell the truth, but we think everyone else lies. I guess that's not too surprising. Do we cynically think that everyone is out to get us or lie to us? Is that why there's such a large difference between the actual liars (28%) and the one's we think are liars (53%)?

Of course, if I didn't have electricity, I couldn't update this blog for you...
