Bleach. I need bleach!

For reasons related mostly to laziness, I ended up watching Maury today.

Great Ghu, I really hope this is all fake. Seriously, these people are too pathetic to live. The usual sweepings from low-rent trailer parks who seem to lack brains, common sense, self-respect, and self-control. Lots of screaming, cheating, and security rushing the stage.

Seriously, the Springer show was more dignified most days.

But the reason I post about this is the stunning revelation that Maury Povich has access to amazing technologies that could win the ware on Terror! Each segment featured a lie-detector result. Now, I've been on a polygraph a few times. You are asked yes or no questions. "Is your name Douglas Berry?" Yes. "Are you a doctor?" No. "Did you kill Lee Harvey Oswald?" No.

But Maury's machine went beyond that! It not only reveled lies (with apparent 100% accuracy) but also reveled details! Asking "did you cheat on your girlfriend?" gives not only the veracity of the response, but the number of transgressions.

I want that machine.

It's a magic machine. If it knows where I put my keys I'll buy one!

Most of Springer was, indeed, fake. I once rode on a bus with a family going to film a show, and they told me about what was involved. Apparently, this was their second Springer appearance. They'd changed their act a little bit, changing from a daughter stealing her mother's boyfriend to a mother stealing her daughter's boyfriend, but you get the idea. I don't imagine Maury is much different, especially with the scripted "reveal" moments like how many cheating episodes had occured.

It's the same TV/Movie technology that allows for full color pages to come out of an HP Desk Jet and 100 pages/Minute. no warmup time or anything...

Or those security tapes that reveal it couldn't have been the suspect, since the shadow on the concrete floor reflected through a car-mirror 50' away doesn't have a mole, and the suspect's twin is without one as well!
