And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

He found that, when interviewed by a guy in a white coat, men admitted to lying to make themeselves look better while women said that they lied only to make the stranger feel good. What the subjects really did is anyone's guess.

Is that how the conclusion was reached? I assumed he had the subjects point out their lies on the videotape, noted what they were, and tallied up the results. But I'm not familiar with the study other than what's mentioned in the article.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, they did. It's mentioned in the article.

“The headphones were made from two separate pieces of pine on the wood turning lathe I then screwed the two together and countersunk the screws,” Burrows explained. “I would also have added the wheel and made the other two legs USB connectors if I had more time. Also I would have loved to implement some forum users ideas of ‘adding a Mac mini and flat screen’ to make it function as a giant iPod. But who knows, in the future with the correct funding I may make a wall mounted jukebox in the shape of an iPod in the way they mentioned.”

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Men. So thoughtless.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

What better response to irony than a good eyeroll? (Not like an eggroll.)

You know, whoever invented the @ = eyeroll idea deserves wild applause. Was it Jesse?

I think irony should be applauded with a wry smile, myself.
