    Let's see: Miss Tenderness believes No. 1 to be the lie.

    Schokokeks challanges #2 as being false.

    Robin and Sub vote for #3, Robin thinking a great personal risk.

    Well, time for the moment of truth. Any one could tell you I always invent characters, and that even my poetry that has been published has been published under pseudonyms. So number one is true. My characters here have included David Pendragon, last son of Camelot, Auld Arrow the Ghost of The Dastardly, and The Mafia Penguin.

    I have been accused at least three times here on the forum of being psychic, because I seem to know what I shouldn't be able to, but it is only detective work. Number two is also true.

    So number three is the lie, but it is a half-truth. The first half is false, the second half is true. I was a slacker in high school and graduated with a low B avarage. But when I went for the degree, a B was unacceptable to me. I only made two the entire time I was in school. I did graduate summa cum laude for my degree. But a half-truth is a LIE. So there you are. Good read Robin and Sub!

    I'm very glad I didn't guess wrong, or else I might have something to answer for.

    Still, in all fairness to tender, IQ doesn't measure imagination.

    Here are 2 trues a 1 lie:

    1) I've finished "War and Peace" in three days
    2) I would like to become an engineer after I get my degree
    3) I like to read poems aloud when I'm a bit drunk

    2nd one is a lie -- degree in what?? If not engineering then it is difficult and 'would like' is an expectation in the future which is always uncertain.
    Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

    Be the change you wish to see

    1. That would be truly impressive, I was proud of myself for finishing it in a week and a half but I suppose if you do little else but read those 3 days, it would be possible so I'll accept that.

    2. Man, I wish I had paid more attention when you were talking about school awhile back...I have to give that one more thought...

    3. So, do you get up on tables and ask for everone's attention and start reading Pushkin? That would be awesome, I really hope this one is true.

    Well, if I accept the first one and have hope that the last one is true, then I guess by simple elimination, my guess has to be no. 2.

    Well, you both are correct. The second one is a lie. My Master degree is in mathematics, so I don't reaaly want to become an engineer.
    And Idril, I prefer Lermontov, Gumilev and Lorka

    Correct, Robin, which is why I said for people to remember that with Pendragon, nothing is ever quite what it seems. Even the lie was a half-truth, designed to throw people off. Masquerades are my game at all times.

    ok, two truths and a lie:

    1) I often write backwards to confuse my coworkers
    2) I live in Kansas, USA
    3) I am in desperate need for a manicure.

    Hmmm this is a toughie. Since it says under your avatar that you are from Michigan, I think you desperately need a manicure.

    Heh, for real, I think it is #2....

    I'd say 1 is false, because on numerous occasions on this forum you have said to be quite small.
