What am I saying? I'm saying there's a reason the results of lie-detector tests aren't admissible in court - two reasons, actually. One, they aren't reliable. In fact, I'll sell you, for exactly one nickel, a lie-detector machine that works about as well as regular lie-detector machines. My machine? A nickel. Flip it, ask your question, guess heads or tails, then read the results. The other reason the results of lie-detector tests aren't admissible in court is because we still prefer to let people rather than machines make such subtle judgments. If you're absolutely unable to tell when your boyfriend is or isn't lying, you either don't know him well enough or he's unknowable. The former you can do something about: Get to know him better.

Short of hooking him up to a lie detector machine, Im not sure what we were expected to learn from Lance Armstrongs appearance on Larry King last week. Armstrong used the TV forum to dispute reports by a French newspaper that a new test of the urine he provided in 1999 turned up a banned substance.

In last week's season opener of "The Wire," a street-smart youngster is duped into confessing to a murder the detectives know he committed but can't prove. They attach him to a "lie detector," which is in fact a copy machine. It spits out a pre-loaded sheet of paper that says "FALSE" an instant after the kid has denied the crime. Seeing this, he falls apart and spills everything. Detective "Bunk" Moreland, savoring his triumph, pronounces a sweeping assessment of humanity: "The bigger the lie," he chuckles, "the more they believe.

WASHINGTON The CIA, the FBI and other federal agencies are using polygraph machines more than ever to screen applicants and hunt for lawbreakers, even as scientists have become more certain that the equipment itself is ineffective in accurately detecting when people are lying. Instead, experts say, the real utility of the polygraph machine, or "lie detector," is that many of the tens of thousands of people who are subjected to it each year believe that it works and thus will frequently admit to things they might not otherwise acknowledge during an interview or interrogation.
