Complete Lies: the answer

I can sense that the tension out there on the web is near breaking point: the whole world is just dying to know which of my lies is actually a truth. Well, it’s number 5. I have never smoked tobacco.

Biology was my preferred degree up until the last few days prior to making my final choices at the end of high school

Actually, I almost ended up doing psychology. The switch to computer science was pretty much last-minute.

I made my debut for the Northstar XXXX League U-19 team at the age of 15

This one is almost true. I was 16 when I first played for the under 19 team.

In 2002, I caused a two-car accident while riding a moped around a Greek Island

While I did ride around a Greek Island in 2002, I did not cause any accidents as far as I know. Rhys can vouch for this one.

With respect to US politics, I believe the Democrats are, in general, a worthier party than the Republicans

In general, I do not believe the Democrats would be worthier of my vote if I happened to be an American citizen. While I don’t think that George Bush is much of a President (yes, that’s a gross understatement), the Republicans have done some pretty admirable things in their history, such as abolishing slavery. One can only hope that the GOP can produce a President with Lincoln’s conscience and eloquence again. I wonder what Abe would have thought of “nucular” weapons? It’s not necessarily that I think the Democrats are crap, just that they are not more worthy than the Republicans in general. Why do I even care about all this stuff, given that I’m an Australian? These days it’s impossible to have an interest in global affairs without having an interest in US politics. That’s just the world we live in at the moment.

In 2003, I was arrested for being drunk and disorderly at Gilhooley’s in the city while partying with my cousins

As previously explained, I’ve never been arrested for anything.

So now you know.

Complete lies: follow up

No, I’m not giving away the answer just yet (I’m not giving away the answer directly, anyway). But it seems certain quarters of the world have formed a rather dim view of my character, and I’ll be sure not to ask them to stand as a reference for me in the future. ;-)

Complete lies

So Tinni has invited me to participate in a meme in which I need to list five complete and utter lies, and one truth. The first person to guess which is the true thing wins (the meme rules do not stipulate the nature of the prize, but I reckon another blog entry identifying the winner should suffice). So here goes:

    1. Biology was my preferred degree up until the last few days prior to making my final choices at the end of high school
    2. I made my debut for the Northstar XXXX League U-19 team at the age of 15
    3. In 2002, I caused a two-car accident while riding a moped around a Greek Island
    4. With respect to US politics, I believe the Democrats are, in general, a worthier party than the Republicans
    5. I have never smoked tobacco
    6. In 2003, I was arrested for being drunk and disorderly at Gilhooley’s in the city while partying with my cousins

      I tag the following people:
